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
objectiveIndividuals with intrinsically low exercise capacity are at increased risk of metabolic dysfunction and reduced endurance performance. This study investigated whether supplementation with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GKLC1 improves exercise performance and energy metabolism in a mouse model selectively bred for instrinsic low aerobic exercise capacity (i-LAEC).
resultsMale i-LAEC ICR mice were orally administered L. rhamnosus GKLC1 (0.021 g/kg/day) or sterile water (n = 6/group) for six weeks. GKLC1 supplementation significantly prolonged treadmill running time to exhaustion compared with controls. During swimming challenge tests, treated mice exhibited lower serum lactate and blood urea nitrogen levels, indicating improved fatigue recovery. GKLC1 also reduced epididymal fat mass and increased glycogen content in liver and skeletal muscle. No significant differences were observed in body weight, food intake, or serum AST and ALT levels between groups. These findings demonstrate that GKLC1 enhances endurance performance and modulates energy-related metabolism without detectable adverse effects in i-LAEC mice.
