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

backgroundLactic acid bacteria (LAB), particularly Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Pediococcus acidilactici, are well-characterized probiotics, known for their beneficial role in promoting gut health in animals.

resultsIn this study, 48 presumptive LAB were obtained from the cattle gastrointestinal tract (feces and saliva). Among these, two strains (CS-23 and BC-14) exhibited significant probiotic properties, including acid tolerance (67.67-96.33%), bile salt tolerance (49.33-83.60%) auto-aggregation (74.24-76.21%), co-aggregation (10.35-23.93%), cell surface hydrophobicity (56.10-69.35%), antioxidant (DPPH scavenging: 27.15 and 34.66%), and antimicrobial activity (inhibition zone: 8.3-14.0 mm). Both strains were susceptible to key antibiotic classes (macrolides and beta-lactams) and exhibited neither gelatinase nor hemolytic activities, indicating their safety for use. Based on 16 S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the strains were identified as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CS-23 and Pediococcus acidilactici BC-14, exhibiting close phylogenetic relatedness to indigenous probiotic strains of animal origin.

conclusionThe indigenous strains Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CS-23 and Pediococcus acidilactici BC-14 exhibit promising probiotic potential and could be used as effective candidates for improving livestock health.
