Identification of plasmalogens in Bifidobacterium longum, but not in Bifidobacterium animalis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Plasmalogens are glycerophospholipids that contain a vinyl ether bond at the sn-1 position of glycerol backbone instead of an ester bond. Plasmalogens are indicated to have many important functions in mammalian cells. On the other hand, it is suggested that some gut microbiota plays many probiotic functions to human health. Presence of plasmalogens in Clostridium strains in gut microbiota is well-known, but presence of plasmalogens in Bifidobacterium longum (B. longum) strain, one of the most important probiotic gut microbiota, has not been reported. We identified plasmalogens in lipid extract from some B. longum species, but not from Bifidobacterium animalis (B. animalis) species which are another important strain of probiotic bifidobacteria. Major phospholipid classes of plasmalogens in B. longum species were cardiolipin, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidic acid. Almost all of the phospholipids from B. longum examined were indicated to be plasmalogens. Although major phospholipid classes of plasmalogens in human brain and major phospholipid classes of plasmalogens in B. longum are different, it is interesting to note that many reported functions of microbiota-gut-brain axis on human neurodegenerative diseases and those functions of plasmalogens on neurodegenerative diseases are overlapped. The presence of plasmalogens in B. longum species may play important roles for many probiotic effects of B. longum to human health.
