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

Obesity is recognized as a global epidemic that can result in changes in the human body and metabolism. Accumulating evidence indicates that gut microbiota (GM) can affect the development of obesity. The GM not only plays a crucial role in digesting and absorbing nutrients, but also in maintaining the overall health of the host. Dietary supplements such as non-starch polysaccharides are mainly fermented by the GM in the colon. Recent findings suggest that shaping the GM through the prebiotic function of non-starch polysaccharides may be a viable strategy against obesity. In this paper, the effects of non-starch polysaccharides on host health, together with their prebiotic function influencing the GM to control obesity via the gut-target organ axis, are reviewed. Potential perspectives of non-starch polysaccharides exhibiting anti-obesity effects via the gut-target organ axis are proposed for future research. Graphical abstract:
