From conventional probiotics to precision nutrition: host-specific probiotics in canine and feline functional foods.
Review in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Probiotics are widely used in companion animal nutrition due to their roles in maintaining gut health, regulating the microbiota, and supporting metabolic homeostasis. Here, we summarize recent advances in the application of probiotics in functional foods for dogs and cats. We outline the strain resources, functional mechanisms, and stabilization technologies of probiotics, with emphasis on their effects on gut barrier function, immune regulation, and metabolic health. In addition, the current challenges, including insufficient host specificity, a lack of rigorous clinical trials, and poor processing stability are discussed. Future directions are proposed for the development of precision probiotics for companion animals. This review provides a theoretical basis for the rational design and standardized application of probiotics in the pet food industry.
