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

Dysbiosis is increasingly linked to allergy development. This study evaluates the efficacy of the multi-strain probiotic SYN-53 in the management of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (ARC). Eighty-four subjects with confirmed grass pollen allergy underwent up to three bi-weekly 3-day intake cycles with SYN-53 or placebo. After each cycle, subjects were exposed to grass pollen in an allergen exposure chamber. ARC symptoms were assessed using the Total Symptom Score (TSS) before and after each use of SYN-53. After one intake cycle, SYN-53 already showed a trend towards greater efficacy over placebo, which became significant after two cycles (ΔTSS
