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

Saccharomyces boulardii (Sb) is a Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) probiotic yeast currently used to alleviate symptoms from various gastrointestinal diseases. Sb is a promising platform for probiotic and biotherapeutic engineering as it is the only probiotic eukaryote and carries with it a unique set of advantages compared to bacterial strains, including resistance to phage, high protein secretion abilities, and intrinsic resistance to antibiotics. While engineered Sb has not been studied as extensively as its close relative Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sc), many genetic engineering tools developed for Sc have also shown promise in Sb. In this review, we address recent research to develop tools for genetic engineering, colonization modulation, biomarker sensing, and drug production in Sb. Ongoing efforts, especially those that overcome gut-specific challenges to engineered performance, are highlighted as they advance this chassis as a scalable platform for treating gastrointestinal diseases.
