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

While many bacteria have been used as probiotics by industries, only two yeasts, Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii and Kluyveromyces fragilis (B0399), have been used for this purpose. In the present work, a total of 116 yeasts isolated from Brazilian indigenous fermented food, cocoa fermentation, and kefir were in vitro characterized for probiotic attributes. From 116 isolates, 36 were tolerant to gastrointestinal conditions evaluated by tolerance to pH 2.0, bile salts (0.3% w/v), and 37 °C temperature. From those, 15 isolates showed a similar or higher percentage (P < 0.05) of hydrophobicity, autoaggregation, and coaggregation with E. coli than the reference strain S. boulardii. All these strains showed a high percentage of adhesion to Caco-2 cells (> 63%) and antioxidant activity (ranging from 18 to 62%). Phytate hydrolysis was evaluated for these yeasts and 13 strains showed positive results, which is important for nutrient availability in plant-based foods. These results are important insights for characterization of novel probiotic yeast strains as well as to aggregate functional value to these food products.
