1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

This study investigates the microbial diversity and FODMAP content of sourdough samples from Turkey's Marmara Region, collected in summer and winter. The primary objective was to identify lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains capable of reducing FODMAP levels, which are associated with digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The research was conducted in stages; in the first stage, sourdough samples were collected in different seasons and their FODMAP and fructan values were analyzed. In the second stage of the study, LAB strains were isolated from the sourdoughs with the lowest FODMAP and fructan levels, and new sourdough samples were prepared. A comprehensive analytical approach was undertaken, including FODMAP and fructan levels, fermentation characteristics, isolate identification, and chemical analysis of the samples. Among the tested samples, Balıkesir-1Y-1 significantly reduced fructan content by 48%, while Tejirdağ-1 K-2 and Edirne 1 K-2 exhibited the highest FODMAP reduction rates of approximately 64%. Additionally, Edirne-1 K-2 showed the strongest acidification potential, with 3.76 ± 0.01 pH and 1.20% ± 0.08% total titratable acidity, comparable with the control group. Seasonal variations significantly influenced microbial activity, with summer isolates demonstrating an enhanced enzymatic efficiency in FODMAP metabolism. The results highlight the potential of sourdough fermentation using targeted LAB strains to produce low-FODMAP foods that maintain high sensory and nutritional quality. This study highlights the significance of optimizing fermentation processes through targeted microbial selection and controlled conditions to achieve desirable nutritional and sensory attributes with dietary sensitivities.
