Analysis of fecal populations of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli and investigation of the immunological responses of their human hosts to the predominant strains.

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
The bifidobacterial and lactobacillus populations of fecal samples collected from 10 human subjects were studied. The numbers of bifidobacteria were similar in the fecal samples of all of the subjects, but lactobacillus numbers varied, even between samples collected from the same individual. Analysis of the composition of the bacterial populations by ribotyping and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis to differentiate between strains showed that, at least for the numerically predominant strains, each subject harbored a unique collection of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Predominant bifidobacterial and lactobacillus strains detected in the feces of each subject were used in immunological assays (lymphocyte transformation, serum antibody titers) to determine the influence of the bacteria on the immune system of their host. Immunoglobulin G antibodies reactive with lactobacilli were detected at high concentrations; antibodies reactive with bifidobacteria were present at lower concentrations. The antibodies appeared to be genus specific rather than strain specific. The results of the study emphasized the complexity of the relationship that exists between the intestinal microflora and the human host.
