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

Potassium sorbate (PS) is a widely used antimicrobial additive employed as a preservative in food, cosmetics, and animal feed. Early childhood represents a critical developmental window characterized by rapid growth, immune system maturation, gut microbiota establishment, and physiological homeostasis development, which may be particularly vulnerable to chemical exposures (during which chemical exposures may exert heightened impacts). Nevertheless, the effects of PS on childhood development and gut microbiota remain poorly understood, and its potential trans-generational effects have yet to be elucidated. In this study, we employed
