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

Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are naturally occurring high-molecular-weight carbohydrates that have been widely studied for their biological activities, including antioxidant, immunomodulatory, anticancer and gut microbiota regulation activities. Polysaccharides are abundant in nature and can be derived from animals, plants, algae, and microorganisms, but among polysaccharides with potential uses, EPSs from microorganisms have the advantages of a short production cycle, high yield, and independence of production from season and climate and thus have broad prospects. While the safety of the producing microorganism can represent a problem in application of microbial EPSs, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been used by humans for thousands of years, and they and their products are generally recognized as safe. This makes LAB excellent sources for exopolysaccharides. EPS-producing LAB are readily found in nature. Through screening of strains, optimization of culture conditions, and improvement of the growth medium, the yield of EPSs from LAB can be increased and the scope of application broadened. This review summarizes EPSs from LAB in terms of structure, function and applications, as well as yield optimization, and introduces recent research on the biological activities and practical applications of LAB EPSs, aiming to provide references for researchers in related areas.
