Multifunctional Applications of Lactic Acid Bacteria: Enhancing Safety, Quality, and Nutritional Value in Foods and Fermented Beverages.
Review in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 73 papers.
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.
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
Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) have garnered significant attention in the food and beverage industry for their significant roles in enhancing safety, quality, and nutritional value. As starter cultures, probiotics, and bacteriocin producers, LAB contributes to the production of high-quality foods and beverages that meet the growing consumer demand for minimally processed functional and health-promoting food products. Industrial food processing, especially in the fresh produce and beverage sector, is shifting to the use of more natural bioproducts in food production, prioritizing not only preservation but also the enhancement of functional characteristics in the final product. Starter cultures, essential to this approach, are carefully selected for their robust adaptation to the food environment. These cultures, often combined with probiotics, contribute beyond their basic fermentation roles by improving the safety, nutritional value, and health-promoting properties of foods. Thus, their selection is critical in preserving the integrity, quality, and nutrition of foods, especially in fresh produce and fruits and vegetable beverages, which have a dynamic microbiome. In addition to reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses and spoilage through the metabolites, including bacteriocins they produce, the use of LAB in these products can contribute essential amino acids, lactic acids, and other bioproducts that directly impact food quality. As a result, LAB can significantly alter the organoleptic and nutritional quality of foods while extending their shelf life. This review is aimed at highlighting the diverse applications of LAB in enhancing safety, quality, and nutritional value across a range of food products and fermented beverages, with a specific focus on essential metabolites in fruit and vegetable beverages and their critical contributions as starter cultures, probiotics, and bacteriocin producers.
