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

backgroundMilk is rich in nutrients and anabolic mediators rendering it essential for postnatal growth and metabolic programming. However, in adults, excessive consumption of milk is controversial as civilization disorders such as diabetes or prostate cancer may be promoted. A cytoprotective effect of milk could be utilized in inflammatory conditions, that is, chronic colitis.

objectiveTo evaluate the effect of bovine milk exosomes on intestinal inflammation in a genetic mouse model of ulcerative colitis.

methodsIntestinal-specific kindlin 2 knockout (KO) mice were exposed for 4 days to tamoxifen for induction of an ulcerative colitis phenotype. At the same time 4 other kindlin 2 KO mice were exposed to 33 μg/g cow milk derived exosomes in PBS by oral gavage. Both groups were compared to untreated wild-type controls.

resultsMilk exosomes prevented the appearance of a severe ulcerative phenotype. The macroscopic colitis score dropped from a mean of 3.33 in untreated mice to 0.75 index points ( KEY MESSAGE: Milk exosomes have cytoprotective/anti-inflammatory activity in a genetic mouse model of ulcerative colitis. The mechanisms behind this need to be elucidated. This pilot study needs verification before a therapeutic strategy is developed.
