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

Species-level quantitative PCR (qPCR) provides in-depth knowledge of oral probiotics in the human gastrointestinal tract (GIT). However, it lacks the capability to differentiate exogenous strains from native microbiota, nor can it distinguish between live and dead bacteria. In this study, we employed improved propidium monoazide (PMAxx)-qPCR to evaluate the survival and colonization of IMPORTANCE: The survival and colonization of probiotics in the gut are critical for their functional efficacy, yet conventional species-level quantitative PCR (qPCR) fails to distinguish exogenous strains from native microbiota or differentiate live from dead bacteria. By integrating strain-specific comparative genomics with propidium monoazide (PMAxx)-qPCR, we precisely quantified the viability of
