Utilization of diverse oligosaccharides for growth by Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species and their in vitro co-cultivation characteristics.

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
Various approaches have been used to study the relationship between prebiotics and probiotics. The utilization of different carbohydrates by probiotics depends on the biochemical properties of the enzymes and substrates required by the microbial strain. However, few studies have systematically analyzed the ability of probiotics to utilize different prebiotics. Here, we investigated the effects of prebiotics from different manufacturers on the proliferation of 13 strains of the Lactobacillus group and the genus Bifidobacterium co-cultured in vitro. Inulin, fructose-oligosaccharide (FOS), and galactose-oligosaccharide (GOS) had broad growth-promoting effects. FOS significantly promoted the proliferation of B. longum. When strains from Lactobacillus group and Bifidobacterium were co-cultured, FOS caused each strain to proliferate cooperatively. GOS was effectively used by L. rhamnosus and L. reuteri for energy and growth promotion. L. casei and L. paracasei fully metabolized inulin; these strains performed better than other strains from Lactobacillus group and Bifidobacterium. Media containing a mixture of oligosaccharides had stronger effects on the growth of B. animalis subsp. lactis, L. acidophilus, and L. rhamnosus than media containing single oligosaccharides. Thus, different oligosaccharides had different effects on the growth of probiotics, providing a scientific basis for the use of synbiotics in health and related fields.
