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

Chronic low-grade inflammation is a probable mediator between the quantity of carbohydrate intake and health outcomes. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) was to summarize the effects of low carbohydrate diets (LCDs) as compared to control diets on c-reactive protein (CRP) levels in adults. A comprehensive search was conducted in several databases up to February 2024. In total, 60 eligible trials with 5511 adults were included in the meta-analysis. LCDs resulted in an average reduction of 0.18 mg/L in CRP levels compared to control groups (MD = 0.18; 95% CI: 0.032 to 0.03;
