Screening for texturing Leuconostoc and genomics behind polysaccharide production.
Article in FEMS microbiology letters, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Synthesis of polysaccharides by Leuconostoc can result in improved texture of fermented products. A total of 249 Leuconostoc strains were screened for homo-polysaccharide production and for texturing capabilities in milk. A total of six Ln. mesenteroides strains with superior texturing properties had the genetic blueprint for both homo- (HoPS) and hetero-polysaccharide (HePS) synthesis. Only one strain produced texture in milk without added sucrose, suggesting HePS synthesis via the Wzy dependent pathway. In milk acidification experiments with added sucrose, all six strains depleted the sucrose and released fructose. Thus, they can be used for both texture and possibly also for sweetness enhancement.
