From the article:

“Out of 221 patients who received the probiotic, 74 (34%) experienced an improvement in abdominal pain by at least 30% and a significant alleviation of IBS symptoms at least 50% of the time, compared to 43 (19%) of the 222 patients who received the placebo. This translates to 1.7 times greater treatment success in the probiotic group.”
