The Role of Inactivation Methods in Shaping Postbiotic Composition and Modulating Bioactivity: A Review.
Review in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Postbiotics, as the metabolic products and cellular components of probiotics, possess the characteristics of being non-living yet retaining biological activity. Postbiotics have unique advantages such as high stability, good security, and a clear target of action. In recent years, they have attracted extensive attention due to their potential roles in immune regulation, anti-inflammation, antioxidation, antibacterial activity, and improving intestinal health. This article systematically reviews the composition of postbiotics and their diversity in fermented foods, with a focus on the impact of different inactivation methods (thermal and non-thermal inactivation) on their biological activities. Many studies have shown that the choice of inactivation method directly affects the immune regulation, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidative functions of postbiotics. Additionally, this review summarizes the application potential of postbiotics in the food industry, the field of medicine and food homology, pet food, and animal breeding, and points out the challenges existing in current research. Future studies need to focus on optimizing inactivation methods to maximize the biological efficacy of postbiotics, thereby promoting the precise application of postbiotics in various fields.
