Reconstructing medieval diets through the integration of stable isotope and proteomic analyses from two European burial sites.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
The combined study of stable isotopes and ancient proteins is a very promising approach to reconstructing past human diets. This study uses stable isotope carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and sulfur (S) signatures from dental calculus, dentin, and bone of individuals from a monastic cemetery at Dalheim (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany) dating to the ninth-twelfth centuries CE. In addition, we examined ancient proteins from the dental calculus of these individuals, complemented by the analysis of a second medieval site in Baar-Früebergstrasse (Zug, Switzerland) dating to the seventh century CE. Isotopic values from the collagen samples from the Dalheim individuals indicated a C
