U.S. Regulatory Considerations for Development of Live Biotherapeutic Products as Drugs.
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 48 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
Interest in the use of bacteria-containing products for the treatment or prevention of disease has increased in recent years. Bacterial preparations for human consumption are commercially available in the form of dietary supplements and typically contain strains with a history of use in food fermentation. Advances in our understanding of the role of the microbiota in health and disease are likely to lead to development of products containing more novel bacterial species, along with genetic modification of strains to provide specific functions. By law, any substance intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in humans meets the definition of a drug, and an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for clinical investigation must be filed with the FDA. This article is meant to provide information about the IND submission process and additional considerations with regard to chemistry, manufacturing, and controls information for live biotherapeutic products.
