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

Abstract: Plant-based probiotic foods (PBPFs) have recently become a notable choice for many consumers. While less recognized than dairy products, these foods offer efficient alternatives for individuals with lactose intolerance, vegans, or those aiming for more sustainable dietary practices. Traditional fermented PBPFs, such as kimchi, sauerkraut, and kombucha, are part of cultures from different countries and have gained more significant popularity in recent years globally due to their peculiar flavors and health benefits. However, new plant-based probiotic products have also been studied and made available to consumers of the growing demand in this sector. Therefore, this review discusses trends in plant-based probiotic production, known benefits, and characteristics. Challenges currently faced in manufacturing, distribution, marketing, consumer acceptance, and legislation are also discussed. Graphical abstract:
