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
Flaxseed gum (FG), a natural polysaccharide with prebiotic potential, may enhance probiotic functionality by modulating bacterial gene expression and improving viability in synbiotic dairy matrices. This study evaluated the effect of FG (2.5% and 5%) on Lactobacillus acidophilus gene expression, viability, sensory properties, texture, and microstructure in Iranian white cheese. Four functional genes were selected for their roles in amino acid biosynthesis, stress adaptation, metabolic regulation, and cell wall integrity. Gene expression was assessed on days 15 and 60 using real-time PCR, while bacterial viability was measured by PMA-qPCR and plate count methods. Significant differences in relative gene expression were observed across all treatments and both time points (day 15 and day 60), with distinct fold-change values for each gene. All gene expressions peaked on day 15 and declined by day 60, possibly due to adaptive stress responses or diminishing FG effect. On day 60, the FG 5% treatment exhibited the highest L. acidophilus viability (1.55 × 10
