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

Fermentation has been used for centuries to preserve food and to obtain products with new, attractive sensory characteristics. Fermented products are a source of dietary fiber, vitamins, bioactive compounds, and probiotic bacteria with health-promoting properties. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the effects of fermented fruits, vegetables, and legumes on metabolic disturbances characterizing metabolic syndrome (MetS). Furthermore, the chemical composition, microbial communities, and molecular mechanisms of action of fermented plant foods are discussed. Fermented fruits and vegetables, including table olives, caper fruits, and kimchi, contain polyphenols and probiotic bacteria, which are beneficial in terms of obesity and impaired glucose and lipid metabolism. Fermented legumes are a valuable source of bioactive peptides and isoflavone aglycones. Among fermented soybean products, natto stands out due to the presence of
