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

Ginseng, a traditional medicinal herb with a favorable safety profile, has long been used to promote systemic health. Recent studies reveal that many of its beneficial effects are mediated through interactions with the gut microbiota. Microbial enzymes convert parent ginsenosides into more absorbable and bioactive metabolites such as compound K, while ginseng reciprocally remodels the microbial community and metabolite composition by promoting the growth of beneficial taxa including
