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: The global rise in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity, driven by high-sugar snacks, underscores the need for low-calorie, fiber-enriched alternatives that attenuate postprandial glycemia while maintaining cultural appeal in date-consuming regions. Objectives: This study nutritionally characterized low-calorie date-based snacks (LCDBSs) formulated with Sagai/Sukkari date paste (1:1), nuts, and oat or psyllium fibers at 5%, 7.5%, or 10% (OF1-3, PF1-3). Methods: The formulated snacks were organolyptically and nutritionally evaluated as well as postprandial glycemic responses in 20 healthy adults (fasting glucose < 100 mg/dL, BMI average 23.39 kg m Results: Proximate composition revealed dose-dependent increases in dietary fiber (12.61-17.55% vs. 7.86% in CF), reductions in available carbohydrates (48.24-52.06% vs. 55.16% in CF), and energy (349.72-368.31 kcal 100 g Conclusion: These findings position psyllium/oat-enriched LCDBSs as viable, culturally relevant options for glycemic control, weight management, and T2D dietary interventions.
