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

introductionPediatric Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGIDs), including infantile colic and constipation, may persist into later childhood and adulthood, sometimes manifesting as functional abdominal pain (FAP). Early exposure to probiotics during critical developmental windows may influence long-term susceptibility to disease. BACKGROUND/

objectivesBuilding on our original randomized controlled trial, which demonstrated that

methodsTwo hundred participants from the original RCT cohort completed follow-up assessments at age ten. The primary outcome was the presence of FAP, analyzed according to the original randomization group (probiotic vs placebo). FAP was diagnosed at age 10 using the Rome IV criteria, based on a standardized clinical assessment by a pediatric gastroenterologist who was blinded to the original allocation.

resultsFAP was diagnosed in 13/99 (13.1%) children in the probiotic group and 81/101 (80.2%) in the placebo group, corresponding to an absolute risk reduction of 67.1% (95% CI 56.8-77.3) and a relative risk of 0.16 (95% CI 0.10-0.27) (
