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

Functional foods are defined as consumables that, in addition to providing essential nutrients, exhibit health-promoting properties when consumed regularly over a long period of time. Globally, there has been great emphasis on their consumption as a cost-effective and safer alternative for the prevention, treatment, and management of various health-related issues, including food allergies. Over the past two decades, the prevalence and severity of clinical manifestations of food allergy (FA) have increased significantly. FA results from the breakdown of immune tolerance. There are different types of functional foods that can be effective in the treatment of FA. Functional foods based on postbiotics that are produced through fermentation include kefir, yogurt, cheese, and fermented milk. This review highlights the potential role of functional foods based on postbiotics in the treatment of FA.
