Trial reportInternational journal of colorectal disease2019
A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SNZ TriBac, a three-strain Bacillus probiotic blend for undiagnosed gastrointestinal discomfort.
Trial report in International journal of colorectal disease, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeThis prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of a multistrain (Bacillus coagulans [SNZ 1969], Bacillus clausii [SNZ 1971], and Bacillus subtilis [SNZ 1972]) probiotic blend (SNZ TriBac) in managing symptoms of gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort in the absence of specific pathologies.
methodsSixty adults with symptoms of GI discomfort were enrolled (mean age, 34.89 ± 9.95 years) and randomized to receive either SNZ TriBac or placebo. Changes from baseline in Severity of Dyspepsia Assessment (SODA), Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS), and Quality of Life (QoL) scales over the course of product use were determined at baseline and on days 30 and 37 as study outcomes.
resultsOn day 30, significant improvement with SNZ TriBac was noted in SODA burping/belching (P = 0.025), bloating (P = 0.048), sour taste (P = 0.025), and total (P = 0.007) scores as well as pain (P = 0.003), non-pain (P = 0.04), and satisfaction (P = 0.03) subscores. Significant improvement with SNZ TriBac was also observed in SODA burping/belching (P = 0.011), sour taste (P = 0.011), and total SODA scores (P < 0.001), and in SODA pain (P = 0.005), non-pain (P = 0.06), and satisfaction (P = 0.004) subscores on day 37. No adverse events were reported.
conclusionSignificant improvement in final SODA scores and subscores with SNZ TriBac versus placebo indicates improvement in several symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort. This multistrain probiotic blend was well tolerated and could be an effective option for treatment of GI discomfort.
