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

backgroundThere is limited evidence regarding the use of low FODMAP diet apps. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an app intended to reduce symptoms in FODMAP restriction and symptoms and tolerance of high FODMAP food challenges during FODMAP reintroduction and personalisation.

methodsData were collected from 21,462 users of a low FODMAP diet app. Self-reported gut symptoms during FODMAP restriction, reintroduction, and personalisation and dietary triggers were identified from symptom response data for FODMAP food challenges.

resultsCompared with baseline, at the end of FODMAP restriction, participants (

conclusionsIn a real-world setting, a low FODMAP diet app can help users improve gut symptoms and detect dietary triggers for long-term self-management.
