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

Probiotic health benefits are strain specific and are dose dependent. Hence, administering the correct strains, at the recommended doses is essential to achieve probiotic health benefits. Reliable methods are needed to facilitate probiotic strain identification and enumeration. Plate count methods are the most commonly used methods for probiotic enumeration. However, these methods are time-consuming, laborious, highly variable, and non-specific. Here, we developed a real-time PCR method for enumeration of a commonly used strain, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG. The method utilizes PMAxx as a viability dye to enumerate viable cells only. Optimization of viability treatment showed that PMAxx at a final concentration of 50 μM was effective in inactivating DNA from dead cells, and that bead beating for 5 min at 3000 rpm was effective in liberating DNA. The assay demonstrated high efficiency between 93 and 102%, with R
