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
backgroundWith the increasing indications for fecal microbiota transplantation for the treatment of diseases, there is a growing demand for the preparation of frozen or lyophilized fecal microbiota products that are viable and can stably colonize the recipient. The addition of protective agents plays an important role in the preparation. However, there has been no systematic evaluation of the protective agents used in fecal microbiota sample transplantation preparation for transplantation.
methodsWe were used the donor bacterial flora containing 10 different formulations of protective agents were frozen, lyophilized, and stored. Plate counting, CCK8 assay, flow cytometry after LIVE/DEAD staining, and fluorescence intensity were used to assess viable bacteria in vitro. In addition, the donor bacterial flora samples containing different formulations protective agents were transplanted into antibiotic-treated SPF mice, with 3 mice in each group and a total of 5 groups. Fecal samples were collected for metagenomic sequencing to observe the colonization of the bacterial flora in the recipient mice.
resultsThe preliminary screening results showed that the survival rate of bacteria in the 5% trehalose (T) groups, and 5% sucrose, 5% inulin, and 1% cysteine hydrochloride (SI) groups was slightly higher than that in the other groups. SI groups tended to be more protective against anaerobes than T groups. The donor gut microbiota containing the SI groups protective agent exhibited the best colonization of the recipient mice. The protective effects of different formulations of protective agents on the colonized probiotic strains and the metabolic function of the bacterial flora in recipient mice were found to be species specific.
conclusionsSI groups can not only better protect the activity of anaerobic bacteria in the intestine, but also effectively promote the effective colonization of donor intestinal bacteria in the recipient mice, and the effect of frozen storage method is less, and can be used at the same time as frozen and freeze-dried preparation. It can be used as a reference for the selection of protective agents in the preparation of fecal microbiota transplantation samples.
