Liver, kidney and digestion
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GGand Diarrhea duration
Both sources here measured lower diarrhea duration.
How sure anyone can be
Moderate certainty, level 3 of 4Further research may change this.
The most certain of the two findings here; each record carries its own.
The numbers reported
One source’s range, drawn against its own line of no difference and scaled to its own numbers.
-1.15-0.85-0.56
This range stays on one side of the no-difference line.
Two sources, newest first
What we read is the published abstract, not the full paper, so a blank below may still be printed in the paper itself. A fixed rule worked this out from the source’s own fields. Nobody checked this rating by hand.

AI-reviewed & signed — an AI agent re-read this finding against the saved source and checked that the quote, the numbers, the units and the direction match it. No person read it. The owner authorised the agent to sign the batch with the owner's key, and every build rechecks that signature against these exact bytes.

Imprecision stops at the first check that applies; others may apply too.

Something nobody wrote down is never a zero and never a guess.
Nothing left on our list for Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG
All two things on our list for Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG have been read. That is rare here.
Still to read means nobody here has got to it, not that it was tried and did nothing or that no research exists. A pairing on no list is not a gap: we never set out to read it.
