Comparative Study on the Mixed Fermentation Process of Germinated Quinoa and Lycium barbarum, and Changes in Metabolites and Microbial Community Before and After Fermentation.
Article in Journal of food 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
Plant-based fermented beverages are increasingly valued for their nutritional and potential health benefits. Co-fermenting nutrient-dense grains with medicinal herbs offers a promising strategy for novel functional drinks. This study investigated the mixed-culture fermentation of germinated quinoa and wolfberry with composite lactic acid bacteria. The synergistic evolution of microbiota and metabolites was elucidated via 16S rRNA sequencing and untargeted metabolomics. Fermentation was carried out at 31°C for 48 h with a wolfberry-to-quinoa ratio of 1:3 (m/m) and 0.05% inoculum. Fermentation drastically restructured the microbial community, where Firmicutes became dominant, and the relative abundance of Lactiplantibacillus reached 82.99%, effectively suppressing potential spoilage organisms. Metabolomic analysis revealed the directional enrichment of functional metabolites, including indole-3-lactic acid, dihydroferulic acid, and acetic acid. Correlation analysis verified that the proliferation of Lactiplantibacillus promoted the accumulation of these beneficial metabolites. Overall, selective proliferation of Lactiplantibacillus concurrently improved microbial safety and functional attributes by orchestrating a synergistic microbiota-metabolism conversion.
