Study of the Effect of Synbiotic Diet on Haematological and Oxidative Indexes Changes in Male Dogs.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundSynbiotic products are functional foods/feeds that contain both probiotic and prebiotic strains and have health-promoting effects beyond those of probiotics or prebiotics alone.
objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the effect of synbiotic feed containing the probiotic strain Lactobacillus acidophilus La5 (10
methodsTwelve male dogs in two groups of six were included in the study. In addition to the basic feed, the dogs in the treatment group also received the synbiotic supplement at 5% in each of their three meals during 29 days. Then, on Day 0 and Day 29, the amount of malondialdehyde was measured based on thiobarbituric acid, and glutathione peroxidase activity and the amount of total serum antioxidants was also measured with the Randox kit; the obtained data were statistically analysed.
resultsThe results showed that white blood cells increased (from 10.28 ± 2.89 to 16.48 ± 7.59 [p = 0.138]) and red blood cells decreased (from 6.492 ± 0.64 to 5.92 ± 1.14 [p = 0.461]) in the treatment group, but these changes were not significant. In the treatment group, it was found that synbiotic food has a significant effect on the increase of MCH (from 24.32 ± 0.93 to 26.30 ± 1.04 pg [p = 0.003]) and MCHC (from 33.24 ± 0.32 to 36.58 ± 0.72 g/dL [p < 0.001]), but it does not have a significant effect on the decrease or increase of other haematological factors. Also, significant reductions in the amount of malondialdehyde (from 3.2 ± 1.05 to 1.35 ± 1.05 µmol/L [p = 0.015]) and increases in the number of total serum antioxidants (from 0.27 ± 0.06 to 0.42 ± 0.09 mmol/L [p = 0.035]) were obtained in the treatment group.
conclusionIt concluded that the consumption of synbiotic feed (L. acidophilus + inulin, at the rate of 5%) in male dogs may reduce and prevent oxidative stress, adjust side effects and prevent some disorders. In any case, many studies are needed to definitively prove these results.
