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

In this study, we investigated some functional and probiotics features of Lactic Acid Bacteria strains isolated from Algerian fermented cow milk. Antioxidant, hypocholesterolemic properties, as well as the α-amylase inhibitory activity and survival under simulated gastrointestinal conditions were evaluated. Among the twenty-two isolates analyzed, only five demonstrated significant tolerance to gastrointestinal conditions, with survival rates ranging from 32% to 97% at pH 2, and from 63% to 99% and 41% to 98% at 0.3% and 1% bile salt concentrations, respectively.The isolates also exhibited auto-aggregation and adhesion to polystyrene tissue culture plates, as well as co-aggregation with Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 (8 - 44%). Regarding antimicrobial activity, the isolates inhibited Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538. Furthermore, all isolates exhibited antioxidant and α-amylase inhibitory activities with both, intact cells (IC) and cell-free supernatant (CFS). CFS showed significantly higher inhibition than IC, with values ranging from 94% to 99%. Finally, the isolates were able to assimilate cholesterol, with assimilation rates ranging from 12% to 58%. Molecular identification confirmed that these strains belong to the Lactiplantibacillus plantarum species. Their strong functional characteristics highlight their potential application in health-promoting and nutritional products.
