Across 11 studies, all reported beneficial effects, with most indicating moderate-sized improvements in allergic symptoms. The evidence consistently supports a beneficial effect of Lactobacillus acidophilus L-92 on allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and cedar pollinosis, but no studies provided extractable data on dose, population, or statistical significance.
Caveats: Available evidence is overwhelmingly positive — clinical literature in this area is subject to publication bias (null-result studies are less likely to be published or indexed). Many of the included studies did not reach statistical significance — effect may be smaller than the predominant direction suggests. All 11 studies are review articles, with no primary RCTs or extractable data on dose, duration, sample size, or population. Evidence base relies entirely on secondary sources.
