1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Motivation: Nutrition is an important factor in human health, used to alleviate or prevent symptoms of various diseases. However, the effects of nutrition on the gut microbiome and human metabolism are not well understood. Whole-body metabolic models (WBMs) have been applied to study relationships between regional diets and human/microbiome metabolism. This method requires diets to be defined at the metabolite level, rather than the food item level, which has gated the application of personalized diets to WBMs. Results: We developed the Nutrition Toolbox, which leverages open-source databases containing metabolite composition for over ten thousand food items to convert food items into their metabolic composition to create Availability and implementation: The Nutrition Toolbox is written in MATLAB. The code can be found at https://github.com/opencobra/cobratoolbox. A tutorial explaining the code is available in the COBRA toolbox and as view-only supplementary tutorial. Details on installing the COBRA toolbox are available at https://opencobra.github.io/cobratoolbox/stable/installation.html.
