Assessing Bacterial Viability and Label Accuracy in Human and Poultry Probiotics Sold in the United Kingdom.
Article in Microorganisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Accurate label claims are essential for consumer trust in probiotic efficacy, yet limited datasets are available for poultry formulations marketed in the United Kingdom. We quantified and identified the viable bacteria in twelve commercial probiotics, seven for poultry and five for human use, using selective plate counts and MALDI-TOF MS. Observed colony forming units (CFU) were compared with declared values using one-sample
