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

Many dietary interventions have been conducted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with quantitative outcomes the key focus; qualitative research exploring participant experiences remains limited. The autoimmune protocol (AIP) diet is an elimination reintroduction approach designed for autoimmune conditions. This study explored the experiences of nine adults with RA who completed an eight-week AIP dietary intervention, with semi-structured interviews conducted immediately post-intervention and again one year later. Interviews explored participants' motivations, challenges, enablers, and perceived effects of the intervention, their experiences with food reintroduction, and the degree to which dietary changes were sustained. Thematic analysis identified three themes related to initial intervention experiences.
