Comparative Profiling of Yeast Communities in Kefir Grains and Liquid Kefir Using ITS Amplicon Next-Generation Sequencing.

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
Kefir is a fermented dairy beverage produced by a complex microbial consortium of bacteria and yeasts coexisting within a polysaccharide-protein matrix known as kefir grains. Although the bacterial communities are well-characterized, the distribution of yeast taxa, specifically those transitioning into the fermented liquid phase, remains insufficiently described. This study is aimed at characterizing and comparing the fungal community composition in both the kefir grains and the resulting fermented liquid. Using internal transcribed spacer (ITS) amplicon sequencing on samples from a traditionally propagated culture, we identified 122 yeast taxa in the grains and 221 taxa in the liquid fraction, with 182 taxa shared between both habitats. Crucially, taxonomic profiling of the liquid phase revealed a high diversity of yeasts, with
