Immunobiosis and probiosis: antimicrobial activity of lactic acid bacteria with a focus on their antiviral and antifungal properties.
Review in Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 70 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
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), a heterogeneous group of bacteria that produce lactic acid as the main product of carbohydrate degradation, play an important role in the production and protection of fermented foods. Moreover, beside the technological use of these microorganisms added to control and steer food fermentations, their beneficial healthy properties are largely overt. Thus, numerous LAB strains have obtained the probiotic status, which entails the ability to maintain and promote a good health of consumers. In particular, increasing consideration is being focused on probiotic microorganisms that can improve the human immune response against dangerous viral and fungal enemies. For such beneficial microbes, the term "immunobiotics" has been coined. Together with an indirect host-mediated adverse effect against undesirable microorganisms, also a direct antagonistic activity of several LAB strains has been largely demonstrated. The purpose of this review is to provide a fullest possible overview of the antiviral and antifungal activities ascribed to probiotic LAB. The interest in this research field is substantiated by a large number of studies exploring the potential application of these beneficial microorganisms both as biopreservatives and immune-enhancers, aiming to reduce and/or eliminate the use of chemical agents to prevent the development of pathogenic, infectious, and/or degrading causes.
