Probiotics and developmental progression in healthy preschool-aged children: a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

However, the study was underpowered for its primary outcome. Future large-scale studies involving diverse populations are recommended.<b>Trial registration:</b> Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry identifier: ACTRN12622000153718..
