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

Combat sports athletes frequently experience gastrointestinal disturbances during pre-competition weight management. This study aimed to investigate the effects of probiotic supplementation on gut barrier function in combat athletes undergoing rapid weight loss prior to competition. Twenty-four elite male athletes were randomized to receive either a complex sports probiotic (1.5 × 10 Clinical trial registration: http://www.chictr.org.cn, identifier ChiCTR2400079908.
