Coculture of Bifidobacterium bifidum G9-1 With Butyrate-Producing Bacteria Promotes Butyrate Production.
Article in Microbiology and immunology, 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
Supplementation with Bifidobacterium bifidum G9-1 (BBG9-1) has been established to enhance the production of butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) known for its beneficial effects in alleviating constipation. We hypothesized that BBG9-1 alters gut microbiota such that bacteria that produce butyric acid from lactate and acetate become more abundant. In this study, we sought to determine whether BBG9-1 promotes the growth of butyrate-producing bacteria and thereby enhances butyrate production. BBG9-1 was cocultured with different butyrate-producing bacteria to compare differences in the SCFA production of cocultures and monocultures. We indeed detected significant increases in the production of SCFAs in cocultures compared to monocultures. Moreover, lactate and butyrate production increased in a time-dependent manner in the BBG9-1 and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii ID 6052 coculture. In addition, acetate production in cocultures initially increased until 16 h, followed by a decline between 20 and 24 h, and a subsequent significant increase at 48 h. Comparatively, lactate and acetate production in the BBG9-1 and Anaerostipes caccae JCM 13470
