Effect of milk phospholipids on the growth and cryotolerance of lactic acid bacteria cultured and stored in acid whey-based media.
Article in JDS communications, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Increasing interest in foods beyond their nutritional value has promoted the development of various novel functional foods that could convey multiple health benefits to consumers. The application of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and milk phospholipids (MPL) in combination has shown some amplifying effects on the health benefits provided by both ingredients. Freezing is commonly used in LAB preservation and storage. However, the freezing/thawing process damages cell membranes and leads to a loss in viability and functionality of LAB. This study aimed to investigate the influence of MPL on growth and cryotolerance of LAB using acid whey-based medium (AWM) supplemented with 0.5% MPL. Fourteen LAB strains were initially screened from 124 LAB using acid whey-based medium (AW). We then evaluated the cell viability and acidification ability, using the plate counting method and skim milk fermentation test, respectively, of the 14 strains cultured in AW and AWM before and after 3 cycles of freezing/thawing. The presence of 0.5% MPL in AWM significantly promoted the growth of LAB. Supplementing the culture and storage medium with 0.5% MPL significantly enhanced the resistance of selected LAB to freeze-thaw cycles in terms of cell viability and acidification ability. These results suggest that supplementing with 0.5% MPL might promote the growth of LAB and enhance the cryotolerance of LAB cultures in fermented dairy products. This finding leads to a better understanding of the synergistic effects contributed by the LAB-MPL combination and promotes the development of new LAB-MPL functional products.
