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

Yeasts play a crucial role in the maturation of fermented foods, with Saccharomyces cerevisiae standing out as the most prominent among them. However, in recent years, there has been a growing interest in the roles and applications of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in fermented products. Their contribution to shape the characteristics of fermented foods like wine, beer, sourdough bread, cheese, and kombucha is undeniable, yet our understanding of the specific effects of each species remains incomplete in certain cases. In this mini-review, we collected and summarized studies that aimed to gain deeper understanding of the microbial dynamics and roles of non-Saccharomyces yeasts during the fermentation and development of alcoholic and non-alcoholic fermentations, as well as highlight that non-Saccharomyces yeasts are recently also recognized for benefiting the human microbiome as probiotics, further expanding their potential contributions to human health and supplementation.
