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 aim of the current study was to assess the efficacy of Na-alginate edible films as vehicles for delivering lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with functional properties to sliced cheeses, with or without high-pressure processing (HPP). A three-strain LAB cocktail (Lactococcus lactis Τ4, Leuconostoc mesenteroides Τ25 and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Τ26) was incorporated into Na-alginate solution in a final population of 9 log CFU/mL. The cheese slices (without or with HPP treatment at 500 MPa for 2 min) were packaged in contact with the LAB edible films (LEFs), and subsequently vacuum packed and stored at 4 °C. Cheese slices without the addition of films, with or without HPP treatment, were used as controls. In all cases, microbiological, pH and sensory analyses were performed, while the presence and the relative abundance of each strain during storage was evaluated using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA-PCR (RAPD-PCR). In addition, organic acid determination and peptide analysis were performed using high-performance liquid chromatography. The results showed that in cheeses without HPP treatment, the microbiota consisted mostly of mesophilic LAB and lactococci (>7.0 log CFU/g), while HPP caused a reduction in the indigenous microbiota population of approximately 1−1.5 log CFU/g. In the LEF samples, the populations of mesophilic LAB and lactococci were maintained at levels of >6.35 log CFU/g during storage, regardless of the HPP treatment. Sensory evaluation revealed that the LEF samples without HPP had a slightly more acidic taste compared to the control, whereas the HPP-LEF samples exhibited the best organoleptic characteristics. RAPD-PCR confirmed that the recovered strains were attributed to the three strains that had been entrapped in the films, while the strain distribution during storage was random. Overall, the results of the study are promising since the functional LAB strains were successfully delivered to the products by the edible films until the end of storage.
