Is It Advisable to Use Probiotics Routinely After a Colonoscopy? A Rapid Comprehensive Review of the Evidence.
Review in Medical sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
About 5-20% of patients who undergo colonoscopy, in the days and weeks following the procedure, develop various symptoms (abdominal pain, bloating, and bowel alteration) mainly related to dysbiosis induced by the propaedeutic intestinal preparation. Some studies have positively evaluated the impact of the administration of different mixtures of probiotics in preventing and/or limiting this symptomatology. The aim of this review is to evaluate and summarize the available scientific evidence supporting the use of probiotics post-colonoscopy and to define their real efficacy as a routine treatment in a clinical setting.
