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

BackgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of probiotic supplementation on glycemic control in children with type 1 diabetes, as measured using glycated hemoglobin level, fasting blood glucose level, and insulin requirements.MethodsA systematic search was conducted across four databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus) to identify eligible randomized controlled trials. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool was used to assess methodological quality. Meta‑analyses were performed using random‑effects models, with subgroup analysis conducted by probiotic strain. The study was registered with the Research Registry (reviewregistry2089).ResultsSix randomized controlled trials (483 children) were included. Probiotic supplementation significantly reduced glycated hemoglobin levels (weighted mean difference: -0.54%; 95% confidence interval: -0.90% to -0.18%;
