Ameliorating effect of psychobiotics and para-psychobiotics on stress: A review on
Review in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Chronic stress can negatively affect cognitive ability, behavioral functions, and gut microbiota balance. The gut microbiota communicates with the brain through the gut-brain axis to influence brain responses and behavior. The positive effects of psychobiotics and para-psychobiotics (viable and non-viable probiotics, respectively) on decreasing stress and stress-related disorders have been approved, previously. It has been suggested that the benefits of such probiotics are provided through different probable routes including the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, the immune system modulation, and the production of neurotransmitters. The recent review aims to explore the different potentials of psychobiotics and para-psychobiotics based on recent literature. The recent literature revealed that psychobiotics and para-psychobiotics could be considered as an alternative to psychotropic drugs which present dependence and side effects compared to chemical drugs.
