Prebiotic Effects of α- and β-Galactooligosaccharides: The Structure-Function Relation.
Review in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Oligosaccharides containing galactosyl moieties belong to two main groups: raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFO, α-GOS) and lactose-type β-galactooligosaccharides (β-GOS), both well-known for their prebiotic effect. The present review investigates the vast amounts of recent research on the structures of GOS and their beneficial impact. It focuses on the molecular interactions between GOS and probiotics in vitro and in vivo, the enzymology of the processes, and the genetic prerequisites for the synthesis and degradation of GOS by probiotic bacteria. The preferences of probiotic strains belonging to the
