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

Bio-based fermented products have recently become increasingly important for both human health and sustainability due to the growing interest in healthy sustainable diets. In this study, spirulina was used as a substrate for the cultivation of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus 23.2 in a 3 L bioreactor and emphasized the evaluation of the potential health effects of the obtained bioactive products. The antioxidant potential of bioactive products has been extensively studied using assays like DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)) radicals, demonstrating its capacity to scavenge free radicals and mitigate oxidative stress. MTT and cell migration (scratch) assays reduced viability of Caco-2 cells and hindered cell migration cancer cells FS compared to unfermented spirulina (unFS) revealed that FS significantly reduced cell viability and migration in a dose-dependent manner, with the strongest effects observed at 5X dilution. In contrast, unFS showed weaker bioactivity. These findings highlight fermentation as a promising biotechnological approach to enhance the functional properties of natural compounds for cancer prevention and treatment. To summarize, the current study revealed that the potential of spirulina biomass to be a suitable media substrate for L. rhamnosus 23.2 strain. These findings will provide awareness toward milestone the health and food sector industrialization of FS products.
