"This systematic review was conducted using the PRISMA statement [] and was prospectively registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022384180). A search strategy was developed in collaboration with a health science librarian at the Pennsylvania State University and included 2 groups of terms, including probiotic supplementation with BF (exposure) and glycemic control (outcome) in both humans and animal models (population) to evaluate the evidence linking dietary supplementation with one or more species of BF and indicators of glycemic response [FBG, HbA1c, or oral/intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (OGTT/IPGTT)]. A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed (Medline), Web of Science, and CAB Direct on 8 December 2022. The full search terms are described in the supplemental material ()."
