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

The purpose of this secondary analysis was to assess the potential role of dietary acid load in people with type 1 diabetes. Participants were randomly assigned to either a vegan or a portion-controlled diet group for 12 weeks, and 3-day dietary records were analyzed. Potential renal acid load and net endogenous acid production-both markers of dietary acid load-decreased significantly in the vegan group, but not in the portion-controlled group. Body weight decreased by 5.2 kg in the vegan group, compared with a nonsignificant change in weight in the portion-controlled group. Changes in dietary acid load correlated positively with changes in body weight. The reduction in dietary acid load may partly explain the observed weight loss on a vegan diet.
