EU-13 is a filter, not a ranking: it only narrows the list.

24 of 200+ institutions, ordered by recent publications and open trials. This is not a ranking of quality.

Terminated, withdrawn and suspended trials with the reason the sponsor gave in the registry, quoted word for word.

• Terminated

  Effects of Lactobacillus Plantarum PS128 in Children With ASD
