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

Saccharomyces boulardii (S. boulardii) is a probiotic and is widely used to improve the nutritional and functional value of food. This study aimed to compare the probiotic properties of S. boulardii and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A series of in vitro probiotic experiments was performed, including simulated gastrointestinal digestion, bile salt tolerance, hydrophobicity, self-aggregation, and antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Self-aggregation and hydrophobic properties of S. boulardii were relatively poor, but they showed high tolerance, antioxidant properties, and broad antibacterial properties. In addition, non-targeted metabolomics was used to comprehensively analyze the active metabolites of S. boulardii and the metabolic differences between S. boulardii and S. cerevisiae were compared. Saccharomyces boulardii produced many bioactive metabolites, which generally showed antioxidant, antibacterial, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and other properties. In contrast to S. cerevisiae, S. boulardii produced phenyllactic acid and 2-hydroxyisocaproic acid. There were also significant differences in their metabolic pathways. These results may be of great significance in the medical and food industries and provide a basis for understanding the metabolism of S. boulardii. It also shows that metabolomics is an effective and novel method for screening microbial functional metabolites and identifying functional differences between similar microorganisms.
