1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The probiotic, Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salivarius 433118 (UCC118), was investigated for its potential to attenuate colitis, modulate immune responses and alter intestinal barrier dysfunction in two different mouse models of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Following oral treatment with UCC118, faecal microbial analysis indicated that viable intact bacteria reached the colons of interleukin (IL)-10(-/-) mice and dextran sodium sulphate (DSS)-treated mice. Neither prophylactic nor therapeutic UCC118 treatment significantly prevented or attenuated inflammation in either model. In all studies, the probiotic-treated mice had comparable cytokine responses as vehicle-treated animals. Mannitol permeability was increased across colonic mucosae mounted in Ussing chambers from DSS-treated mice, but not in IL-10(-/-) mice. However, colonic mucosae from UCC118-treated mice had unchanged transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) values and mannitol fluxes compared to controls. In two different mouse colitis models examined under a range of histological and functional criteria, the data therefore suggest that this Lactobacillus subsp. has limited potential as a prophylactic or therapeutic treatment for inflammatory bowel disease. While several studies have shown therapeutic activity for this probiotic in mouse models of IBD, our data suggest that there are inter-study variables in formulation, study design, animal models and assessment criteria that may impact on interpretation of probiotic efficacy.
