Effects of a polyphenol-rich extract blend, probiotics, and hydrolyzed fiber on quality of life and gut health markers in patients with irritable bowel syndrome-A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most prevalent functional bowel disorder impacting around 5%-10% of the general population worldwide. The pathogenesis remains unclear, however alterations in gut-brain axis play a critical role. We aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of a novel synbiotic formulation comprising of partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG), specific probiotic strains ( Methods: A total of 47 patients with IBS were randomly assigned to three groups and followed over a 2-month study period. Group I ( Results and conclusions: This study demonstrated a significant improvement in QoL in individuals receiving the complete formulation combination (Group III). The largest decrease in score was observed in dysphoria, with median differences of -5 in Group III (
