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
Background: Globally, master's and doctoral students, especially pregraduate students, are under great pressure. Probiotics are emerging as a promising intervention to improve mental health via gut-brain axis. Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the impact of Methods: We conducted a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial in 120 healthy master's and doctoral students who faced graduation. Participants were randomly assigned to either probiotics (containing Results: There was no difference in changes of PSS-10 scores from baseline to 2 weeks between the K56 groups and the placebo [mean (standard error): -1.68 (0.48) vs. -0.39 (0.46), Conclusion: This study suggested the potential benefits of K56 supplementation in alleviating stress and significant effect in reducing anxiety and insomnia among master's and doctoral students, which may be attributed to K56-induced changes in microbial composition and butanoate metabolism.
