Probiotic Formulations: A Patent Landscaping Using the Text Mining Approach.
Review in Current microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The outstanding research outcomes and registrations of myriads of probiotic strains have flooded the health market with various innovative probiotic-based products and their patents. The study of patented formulations of probiotics can give an overall insight into its existing application. A landscaping review of patents for probiotic-based preparations is presented in the current work. The patent search was performed over commercially available patent databased and analysis tool-PatSeer Pro®. Search strings containing words "Formulation" and "Composition" resulted in more than 3700 patents. Landscaping review of 400 + patents from the last 20 years (2000-2020) was performed using the Text-Mining approach. Text-Mining helped to identify 19 technological clusters which represent these patents. These clusters include the patents of probiotic preparations on animal feed, human food, cosmetics, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, arthritis, etc. A review of this massive number of patents unveiled many exciting preparations. Probiotic-based innovative products for depression, diabetes, Parkinson's, tumor, acne, and animal husbandry are reviewed comprehensively. The present work also unravels a few new-flanged products like probiotic layered condoms, products for acute alcoholism, and traditional Chinese medicine with probiotics. The patent landscape of probiotic-based preparations has presented a whole scenario of probiotic-based preparations. It has also revealed many unexplored areas where innovation can be excelled.
