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

Alterations to the gut microbiota can cause an amplification of the inflammatory response to intestinal pathogens. We assessed the effect of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and Lactobacillus johnsonii on the elimination of Candida species and whether restoration of these two anaerobic bacteria could attenuate the development of colitis in mice. In this study, L. johnsonii and B. thetaiotaomicron interacted directly with Candida species and induced a degradation of the fungal cell wall, mediated via chitinase-like and mannosidase-like activities, which promoted the inhibition of Candida species growth. In the DSS-induced colitis model, oral administration of L. johnsonii and B. thetaiotaomicron to mice reduced the overgrowth of Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis and Candida glabrata populations and resulted in a significant reduction in inflammatory parameters. L. johnsonii and B. thetaiotaomicron decreased pro-inflammatory mediators and enhanced the anti-inflammatory cytokine response with high TLR9 expression and chitinase-like protein-1 activation, which promoted the elimination of C. glabrata from the gut. Overall, these findings provide evidence that L. johnsonii and B. thetaiotaomicron decrease the development of colitis mediated by TLR9 and promote the elimination of C. glabrata from the gut via chitinase-like and mannosidase-like activities.
