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

backgroundLeuconostoc mesenteroides (L. mesenteroides) has known as an electrogenic probiotic bacterium. However, metabolites related to electro-fermentation in ferments of L. mesenteroides are not unveiled.

resultElectrogenic L. mesenteroides fermentatively metabolized bovine milk to dense ferments with homogeneous particle-size distribution. A non-targeted metabolomics approach was performed on non-fermented and L. mesenteroides-fermented milk. A total of 917 metabolites were identified and quantified by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS). Thirteen prokaryotic metabolic pathways associated with differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) were revealed through Koto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis. Anthranilic acid (AA) and 3-hydroxyanthranilin acid (3-HAA), potentially as electron donors, and quinolinic acid, an electron donor precursor, in the tryptophan kynurenine pathway were significantly increased in the fermented milk. Histidine, arginine, and riboflavin involved in bacterial survival or bioelectricity production were elevated after fermentation.

conclusionsResults indicate that electrogenic L. mesenteroides can mediate electro-fermentation to transform milk to a new nutritional source which is rich in electron donors reportedly acting as antioxidants.
