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

Adolescents who own dogs have higher well-being than those who do not; however, it is unclear what the underlying mechanism explains how dog ownership affects adolescents' well-being. As dog ownership influences the composition of the microbiota in the home environment, we examined the microbiome of dog-owning adolescents and analyzed associations with mental health and behavior in the teenage cohort participants (
