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
introductionSleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a safe metabolic and bariatric surgery but it often leads to postoperative gastrointestinal issues, such as constipation and bloating. The use of probiotics after SG seems to alleviate these symptoms.
aimThe aim of this study was to assess the impact of probiotic supplementation on macro- and micronutrient levels, specifically glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), 3 months after SG. The secondary objective was to analyze the effect of probiotics on gastrointestinal symptoms. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis was a prospective, placebo-controlled study which included patients undergoing SG at a single center in Poland. Before the surgery, the patients did not note gastrointestinal diseases or symptoms. They were randomly assigned to the probiotics group (PG) or the control group (CG). Gastrointestinal symptoms and laboratory test results were assessed before surgery and 3 months postoperatively.
resultsA total of 24 patients were included in the study, of which 11 were assigned to the PG and 13, to the CG. Three months after surgery, the patients in the PG had slightly lower levels of HbA
conclusionsProbiotics may lower HbA1c levels, effectively reduce constipation, contribute to a better feeling of bowel movement, and facilitate defecation after SG.
