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 potential benefits of Lactobacillus gasseri LA806 in IBS were previously identified in a comprehensive preclinical research program. The purpose of this multicenter study was to explore in real-life conditions changes in IBS symptoms and quality of life in patients receiving a 4-week supplementation with L. gasseri LA806. Altogether 119 patients meeting Rome IV criteria for IBS were included, of whom 118 received the supplement. The majority of patients (71.8% (95% CI 63.6−79.9%)) manifested a ≥30% decrease in abdominal pain at 4 weeks, the mean abdominal pain score diminishing by 54.2% (from 5.3 ± 2.2 to 2.2 ± 2.4, p < 0.0001). A statistically significant decrease in abdominal pain was seen as early as the first week. A decrease of ≥30% in both abdominal pain score and global IBS symptom score was attained in 61.5% of patients (95% CI 51.7−71.2%). The mean IBS-SSS score fell by 152 ± 112 points (p = 0.001), with symptoms being attenuated in 85% of patients (CGI-I). Supplementation led to a 10-fold decrease in the number of patients reporting severe IBS symptoms. The concomitant intake of antidiarrheals, antispasmodics and analgesics decreased and quality of life scores significantly improved. These preliminary results warrant confirmation by a randomized, placebo-controlled study that this study will allow a better design.
