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 use of beneficial bacteria to promote health is widely practiced. However, experimental evidence corroborating the efficacy of bacteria promoted with such claims remains limited. We address this gap by identifying a beneficial bacterium that protects against tissue damage and injury-induced inflammation in the gut. We first employed the Drosophila animal model to screen for the capacity of candidate beneficial bacteria to protect the fly gut against injury. From this screen, we identified Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris as a bacterium that elicited potent cytoprotective activity. Then, in a murine model, we demonstrated that the same strain confers powerful cytoprotective influences against radiological damage, as well as anti-inflammatory activity in a gut colitis model. In summary, we demonstrate the positive salutary effects of a beneficial bacterium, namely, L. lactis subsp. cremoris on intestinal tissue and propose the use of this strain as a therapeutic to promote intestinal health.
