The applicability of the Migratest
Article in BMC veterinary research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe chemotactic activity of peripheral blood granulocytes in lambs supplemented with a multi-strain probiotic formulation (containing three Lactobacillus strains: Lactobacillus plantarum AMT14, Lactobacillus plantarum AMT4, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus AMT15, and one Bifidobacterium animalis AMT30 strain) was evaluated with the use of the Migratest
resultsThe study found that lambs fed a probiotic supplement had significantly enhanced white blood cell migration to areas of infection. This was measured using the Migratest® kit, which assesses L-selectin expression. Lower L-selectin levels were linked to improved chemotactic activity. Probiotic supplementation resulted in decreased L-selectin expression in lambs compared to the control group, suggesting a potential mechanism for the observed immune benefits.
conclusionThe study found that dietary probiotics can boost the immune system of lambs by increasing the ability of their white blood cells to migrate to sites of infection. Using the Migratest® kit, researchers were able to accurately measure this improvement. This discovery suggests that tested a multi-strain probiotic formulation may have positive effects on the immune systems of other animals as well and warrants further investigation into the underlying mechanisms.
