Microbiota and Quality Indexes of Commercial Sauerkraut and Fermented Cucumbers.
Article in Environmental microbiology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Sauerkraut and fermented cucumbers are the most commonly consumed fermented vegetables in several regions of Eastern, Central, and Western Europe; thus, their quality is of great importance. In this study, the quality and bacterial microbiota of commercial samples of fermented cucumbers and sauerkraut were assessed. The identification and quantification of the microbial consortia were performed using nanopore sequencing, and ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to analyse the content of biogenic amines. The physicochemical analysis showed great sample differentiation. Microbial analysis revealed a large diversity of types and relative abundances amongst the studied samples. Lactobacillaceae dominated the microbial community of fermented products, with the most common genera being Latilactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Lactiplantibacillus, Levilactobacillus, Lentilactobacillus, Secundilactobacillus, and Pediococcus. As for biogenic amines, putrescine prevailed both in the samples of fermented cucumber and sauerkraut, followed by cadaverine. The calculated biogenic amine index for four samples of sauerkraut and one of pickled cucumbers exceeded the estimated upper toxicity limit, ranging from 392 to 541, respectively. Spearman correlation analysis showed a significant positive correlation between Secundilactobacillus and cadaverine content in sauerkraut samples and between Levilactobacillus and Secundilactobacillus and cadaverine and histamine content in fermented cucumbers.
