Fibroblasts Impact Goblet Cell Responses to Lactic Acid Bacteria After Exposure to Inflammatory Cytokines and Mucus Disruptors.
Article in Molecular nutrition & food research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
scopeMucus produced by goblet cells contributes to gut barrier function. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been shown to impact mucus production. It is not completely known whether mucus production is influenced by the abundantly present fibroblasts in the intestine. METHODS AND
resultsThe influence of fibroblasts on mucus-related genes including mucin-2 (MUC2), trefoil factor 3 (TFF3), resistin-like molecule β (RETNLB), carbohydrate sulfotransferase 5 (CHST5), and galactose-3-O-sulfotransferase 2 (GAL3ST2) is examined after co-culture of LS174T-goblet cells and CCD-18Co colonic fibroblasts in the presence and absence of LAB-strains known to impact mucus function. This is also tested after exposure to TNF-α, IL-13, or the mucin synthesis inhibitor tunicamycin (Tm). Effects of fibroblasts are treatment duration- and bacterial species-dependent under homeostatic conditions. During TNF-α challenge, fibroblasts reverse Lactobacillus (L.) rhamnosus CCFM237-elicited declined TFF3 expression. After IL-13 exposure, L. rhamnosus CCFM237 and L. fermentum CCFM787 attenuate enhanced TFF3 and RETNLB expression, respectively, only in the presence of fibroblasts. LAB has no effects on Tm-induced decreased expression of goblet cell-related genes regardless of the presence of fibroblasts.
conclusionIt is demonstrated that goblet cell-fibroblast crosstalk impacts mucus synthesis and influences the effects of LAB on goblet cell-related genes. Effects are LAB-species and stressor dependent.
