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
Background: Probiotics may help bodybuilders by improving gut health, nutrient absorption, and reducing inflammation, potentially supporting muscle growth and fat loss. While research is promising, more studies are needed. This study explores the effects of probiotic supplementation on body composition and anthropometrics key measurements, aiming to see if they can support muscle building and fat management in unprofessional bodybuilders. Methods: The research was conducted as a randomized, parallel, placebo-controlled clinical trial with a 12-week follow-up period. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the probiotic supplementations ( Results: A total of 80 participants (mean age, 29 years and mean weight, 74 kg) were enrolled in this trial. After 12-week intervention, we observed WC, ABSI, BRI, BAI, AVI, and ConI significantly decreased in the probiotic group and BAI significantly decreased placebo group, with no significant differences observed between groups. Moreover, BMI, AVI, and ConI were significantly reduced in probiotic group in compare with the placebo group. No significant results were observed in other anthropometric and body composition indicators. Conclusions: Probiotic supplementation improved anthropometric indices in unprofessional bodybuilders. However, these results need to be validated in a larger sample size. Trial registration: Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials IRCT20240424061562N1, Registration date 20,240,730, Trial Id 77,722.
