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

This study investigated whether Bacillus subtilis can provide protection for grass carp against oxidative stress damage induced by Aeromonas hydrophila. A total of 240 healthy grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) (average weight of 71.42 ± 4.36g) were randomly divided into four groups with three replicates: control group, A. hydrophila group, B. subtilis + A. hydrophila group, and A. hydrophila + B. subtilis group. After challenge with A. hydrophila, the lipid oxidative damage, antioxidant defenses, and the gene expression of inflammatory cytokines of the grass carp were investigated. Our results showed that A. hydrophila caused lipid oxidative damage, led to significant decreases in antioxidant defenses, and induced inflammatory responses of grass carp. However, the grass carp group fed the probiotic B. subtilis diet for 42 days before the challenge and the group fed the probiotic B. subtilis diet immediately after the challenge both showed (i) a reduced level of oxidative stress with a decrease in the level of MDA; (ii) an increase in antioxidant defenses, including an increase in total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), increased activities of SOD and CAT, increased levels of GSH, and upregulated gene expression of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, and Gpx); and (iii) an improved immune response with the level of antiinflammatory cytokines IL-10 messenger RNA (mRNA) upregulated and the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-8 mRNA downregulated. Based on this study, B. subtilis can provide effective protection of fish against oxidative stress damage induced by A. hydrophila infection.
