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

Probiotics are increasingly recognized for their role in metabolic and musculoskeletal health, yet evidence from human clinical trials in healthy populations remains limited. To evaluate the effects of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei NB23 supplementation on insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), muscle function, and cardiometabolic markers in healthy adults, in a 12-week, double-blind, randomized controlled trial, healthy participants were allocated to receive either NB23 (3 g, 5 × 10
