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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThe aim of this study was to produce fermented sheep milk and to evaluate its microbiological properties. In addition, the survival of six probiotic strains was assessed using a standardized static in vitro digestion model.
methodsFermented sheep milk samples supplemented with inulin or with the combination of inulin and sodium butyrate were analyzed using a standardized in vitro digestion procedure simulating oral, gastric, and intestinal phases. The survival rate of probiotic bacteria was additionally calculated.
resultsThe viable cell counts in sheep milk prior to digestion were significantly influenced by the bacterial strain used for fermentation. Analysis of variance demonstrated that probiotic survival during simulated gastrointestinal digestion was significantly affected by the investigated factors (bacterial strain, inulin supplementation, and supplementation with inulin and sodium butyrate), as well as by the interactions among these factors. The effects of supplementation on probiotic survival were strain-dependent.
conclusionsConsidering the limited data available regarding the effects of sodium butyrate and inulin on probiotic survival in sheep milk matrices, the obtained results indicate that supplementation with these compounds may modulate the survival of probiotic strains during simulated gastrointestinal digestion in a strain-dependent manner. This study provides new insights into the influence of sodium butyrate and inulin on probiotic viability and gastrointestinal tolerance in fermented sheep milk.
