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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesFunctional dyspepsia (FD) is a gastrointestinal disorder typically treated by changes in diet and lifestyle. However, in the Colombian population, few studies have addressed its etiology and diagnosis. This exploratory study aimed to identify predictive variables associated with the presence of dyspeptic symptoms (DS).

methodsTo address this, a self-survey was conducted evaluating sociodemographic characteristics, clinical history, and dietary habits. A DS index was calculated using participant's clinical history to explore the characteristics of the groups with more and less DS (MDS and LDS groups). Additionally, a regression model was applied to identify the predictors of higher DS scores. Pooled data from the rolling, cross-sectional eating habits and DS survey between May and July of 2024. We enrolled 102 Colombian participants between 18 and 65 years old.

resultsSignificant differences were identified between MDS and LDS groups in occupation and dietary habits, with students exhibiting a higher DS index. Moreover, MDS exhibited greater consumption of fatty and fried foods than LDS groups. Regression analysis revealed that high intake of fatty foods and sesame were the best predictors of higher DS index. In contrast, the consumption of

conclusionsChanges in dietary habits are associated with lower DS; the effect and its etiology might also depend on the participants' occupation and nutritional habits.
