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

backgroundModulation of the gut-brain axis using probiotics present a promising approach for enhancing cognitive function in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). In prior non-clinical research,

methodsA 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial was performed in 100 participants aged 55-80 years. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive LL (

resultsLL supplementation resulted in significantly greater improvements than placebo in the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognition 13 total score, the memory sub-score, reaction time for Part A of the Trail Making Test, and word/color reaction times on the Stroop test. Taxonomic and metabolomic profiling of fecal samples showed significantly greater changes in the relative abundance of beneficial microorganisms in the LL group, with the most pronounced shifts at the family (

conclusionsThese findings suggest that LL supplementation may enhance cognitive function in MCI by modulating the gut-brain axis through effects on gut microbiota and related metabolites, and could serve as a safe functional food to support cognitive health.
