Unidentified 39-RCT meta-analysis context mentioned in the preserved summary



Materials actually read: The preserved summary describing this context was read; the external review remains unread  
Findings recorded in the summary: Null whole-group trials of other strains do not address exactly the same question. The preserved 39-RCT meta-analysis context describes a null REM-related sleep-efficiency result in three trials: MD 1.64 percentage points, 95% CI -0.35 to 3.64. It therefore cannot be generalized to probiotics improving sleep.  
Record level: Original narrative of the REM-related three-trial MD and 39-RCT context preserved; no new trial-count certification or effect combination  
Independent replication: Connections among the paper, registration, analyses and parent/selected summaries of the same IDCC 1201 trial; unidentified-review bibliography context slot; independence of included trials, inclusion of the current trial and overlap unverified

## What the statuses mean

- Partly verified: Some information exists in the preserved review summary; detailed original materials remain unverified. This does not certify a passed review or clinical efficacy.
- Unverified: Detailed materials for the selected condition could not be established within the stored scope; this does not mean zero effect, zero studies or safety
- Review incomplete: Review of existing content incomplete
- Met: Use only within the relevant conditions after existing content review; no automatic designation in this preparation
- Not reported: Distinguish only within materials actually read; do not turn unread external materials into unreported findings
- Inaccessible: Not applied during this preparation because actual access was not tested
- Not applicable: Use with a reason for non-applicability based on an explicit question boundary
- Conflicting data: Judge after actual material comparison; review was not performed during this preparation
- Insufficient evidence for the conditions: Do not use as a clinical grade encompassing currently unread materials
