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

Modifying the gut microbiome, also known as bacteriotherapy, is a key strategy that uses probiotics, prebiotics, or synbiotics to reduce inflammation and fight infection and colonization by pathogenic bacteria. Various food sources, particularly those rich in Lactobacillus species, are well-recognized for their probiotic properties. Edible mushrooms are rich with their nutrient-dense composition, including carbohydrates, proteins, fibers, minerals, vitamins, and lipids, which stand out as a promising bio-source for several biological uses. In this study, four probiotic strains were isolated and identified from food samples: Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilus), L. pentosus, L. plantarum, and L. paracasei. Then the prebiotic and antioxidant properties of crude and polysaccharide extracts were assessed from two edible mushrooms, Agaricus bisporus (brown) and Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster). Using the phenol-sulfuric acid method, the ethanol extract of P. ostreatus exhibited the highest yields of total carbohydrates and reducing sugars (6.14 and 3.15 mg/mL, respectively). Among the mushroom extracts, the polysaccharide from A. bisporus demonstrated the strongest radical scavenging activity (93.73%), with a half-maximal effective concentration (EC
