Vitamins formed by microorganisms in fermented foods: effects on human vitamin status-a systematic narrative review.
Synthesis 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 11 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: Vitamin deficiencies remain a global health issue, particularly among vulnerable populations. As microorganisms also produce vitamins, this has led to considering Fermented Foods (FF) as potential vehicles for improving vitamin intake. This systematic narrative review, which exclusively relies on human studies, aims to assess the extent to which the consumption of vitamin-rich FF contributes to the maintenance or enhancement of vitamin status in healthy or deficient populations. Methods: A comprehensive literature search (1970-2024) was conducted following the protocols of EFSA and the COST Action PIMENTO to identify interventional and observational studies investigating the influence of FF on biomarkers of vitamin status. Results: Findings confirm that certain microorganisms, including Discussion: Despite encouraging data, there is a lack of well-controlled, large-scale human studies to validate FF as a sustainable strategy to improve vitamin status. Future human studies research should investigate strain-specific effects, food matrix interactions, and long-term health outcomes.
