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

aimTo investigate the role of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) in interleukin-10 (IL-10) production induced by Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis Bb12 (Bb12) in swine immune cells. METHODS AND

resultsBlood-monocytes and cells from mesenteric lymph nodes were obtained from pigs and cultured with live Bb12 for 4 and 12 h. Transcript levels of IL-10 and TLR2 were analysed. Furthermore, TLR2 was blocked to determine its participation in IL-10 production. TLR2 blockade was achieved with neutralizing antibodies, followed by stimulation with Bb12. Bifidobacteria induced IL-10 production in both swine monocytes and mesenteric cells. Monocytes with TLR2 blockade had a decrease in IL-10 transcripts, while mesenteric cells did not. Bacterial cell wall components were responsible for Bb12-induced IL-10 production since no IL-10 was detected in the culture supernatant.

conclusionsWe demonstrated that IL-10 production is largely mediated through the recognition of Bb12 structures by TLR2, as bacterial metabolites in the culture supernatant failed to induce IL-10 expression. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The present study provides evidence for the potential use of Bb12 in the swine industry; these bacteria can also be used as additional method to treat intestinal inflammation and enhance intestinal health in pigs.
