Single Strain vs Multiple Strain Probiotics: The Clinician's Choice.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background The intention of optimizing the intestinal microbial milieu has heightened the interest of incorporating probiotics into nutritional supplements for children and adults as a therapeutic or preventive option for a variety of diseases. Prescriptions of probiotics for multiple clinical indications in paediatrics have substantially increased in the past decades and continue to rise due to convincing and growing scientific evidence around them. Aim To prospectively analyse the probiotic prescription patterns of pediatricians in a tertiary care hospital. Method This was a prospective, observational study conducted at a single center involving children aged 0 to 16 years. The study included 53 pediatricians and analyzed 22,500 prescriptions obtained from electronic medical records (EMR). Results A total of 22,500 pediatric prescriptions were analyzed, out of which 17,370 (77.20%) were single-strain probiotic prescriptions. Among single-strain probiotics,
