Reviewer's report:
Dear Authors,
Thank you for sharing your revised manuscript. The changes you’ve made really improve the
quality of the paper. The updated title is much clearer and captures the focus of your study nicely.
That said, there are still a few things that could be refined. For example, while synbiotics are now
included in the title, they’re still missing in some parts of the text, especially in the introduction
and conclusion. It would be great to add a sentence or two about synbiotics in the introduction.
Also, consider including synbiotics as a keyword to help make the paper easier to find.
The methodology section is much better now with the added details. I did notice a small issue
with Figure 1, which I’ve pointed out in the text for you to fix. The discussion has improved a lot
too, so congrats on that! However, one thing I think could be better is linking your explanation
of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics to the RCTs you analyzed. Highlighting this connection
would strengthen the discussion and make it more focused on your review's findings.
The strengths and limitations section is solid, but I’d suggest starting with the limitations and
ending with the strengths to leave readers with a positive impression.  In the end, you can add
a line or two about what future research should focus on.
Lastly, there are still some minor issues regarding the consistent use of abbreviations, and make
sure all bacterial names are italicized.
Overall, great work! You’ve made a lot of progress, congrats on your work.
Best regards,
