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

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the ameliorative effect of dietary fiber on hepatic fibrosis in T2DM combined with MASLD and to seek the appropriate dose of DF for this population. Material and methods: This study was a randomized, controlled, open clinical trial. Patients with T2DM and MASLD were recruited from January 2024 to March 2024 in our hospital using the Interactive Web Response System (IWRS) in a 1:1:1 ratio randomly divided into 3 groups. The control patients received traditional diabetes education. Based on health education, the intervention group took DF supplements (Shanghai Jiuben Technology Co., Ltd.) daily for 12 weeks. Each packet of the supplement is 50 grams and contains approximately 12 grams of dietary fiber (DF). The intervention group was randomly assigned to two different groups. One group received 24 grams of fiber, which was obtained by consuming two packets, each containing 12 grams of fiber. The other group received 12 grams of fiber by consuming one packet. Results: Both interventions showed a more significant decrease in HbA1c levels than the control group, but only the difference between the control and 24g intervention groups was statistically significant(-0.6 ± 0.5 Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that dietary fiber improved liver fibrosis and glycemic control, with a more pronounced effect in patients from the 24g Intervention group. However, this group had no statistically significant change in BMI, possibly due to higher caloric intake from additional fiber.
