The role of fermented foods in maternal health during pregnancy and infant health during the first 1,000 days of life.
Review in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Fermented foods are a good source of nutrition, with microbiota and metabolites that can positively influence consumer health. With the increasingly negative health outcomes from using low-quality diets like processed diets, functional products like fermented foods are getting more attention than ever. All cultures of the world consume some kind of fermented foods. Extensive literature outlines positive health and clinical outcomes associated with fermented foods, yet most data are associative and lack longitudinal studies. This review explores the role of fermented foods during pregnancy and its subsequent impact on maternal and infant health, especially in the first 1,000 days of life. In this review, we have summarized the literature on fermented foods from preclinical and clinical studies that evaluated the impact of maternal consumption of fermented foods on mothers and offspring microbiota, immune system, and brain health outcomes. We also discussed existing knowledge gaps on maternal-child dyads and mechanistic studies needed to provide better scientific evidence to promote fermented foods consumption.
