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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesAnimal studies support that diet affects metabolic fuel utilization and metabolic flexibility. We hypothesized that individuals with contrasting dietary patterns would have different metabolic responses. Differences in metabolic fuel utilization, metabolic flexibility, and gastric emptying time to carbohydrate challenges (rapidly vs slowly digestible carbohydrates [RDC/SDC]) were assessed between US and Kenyan cohorts consuming diets characteristic of each population. SUBJECTS/

methodsWe assessed metabolic fuel utilization using a portable breath CO

resultsKenyan participants had higher RER

conclusionThe Kenyan cohort consuming a diet of high carbohydrate quality and low in fat showed greater carbohydrate oxidation and improved MF.
