Probiotics: Potent Immunomodulatory Tool Against Allergy.
Article in Probiotics and antimicrobial proteins, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Probiotics are defined as live microbial food ingredients that produce several beneficial effects to human health. Probiotic bacteria have been mostly investigated in the prevention of and treatment for different gastrointestinal diseases and allergies. It is not fully clear how probiotics exert their beneficial effects on health, but one of the most probable mechanisms of action is the modulation of immune responses via the mucosal immune system of the gut. Commensal bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract play an integral role in both innate and humoral immunity. It is well established that this protective role can be maintained or modulated by the ingestion of probiotics. More recently, it has been shown that specific probiotic strains can influence the secretion of cytokines to help direct naïve T-helper cells toward either a Th1-dominant, cell-mediated immune response or toward a Th2-dominant, humoral immune response. This paper will review current knowledge of the Th1/Th2 model of humoral immunity as well as introduce how strain-specific probiotics can be used therapeutically to help balance this immune response and therefore help prevent allergy.
