Production of electricity and reduction of high-fat diet-induced IL-6 by glucose fermentation of Leuconostoc mesenteroides.
Article in Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Electrogenic bacteria can mediate electron transfer to conserve energy and promote growth. To examine bacterial electrogenicity, an L. mesenteroides EH-1 strain was cultured in rich media in the presence and absence of 2% glucose. After 12 h incubation, glucose triggered fermentation of L. mesenteroides EH-1 to produce >10 mmol/l acetate and elicit electricity measured by voltage changes. The electricity production was mediated by glucose fermentation since pre-treatment of L. mesenteroides EH-1 with furfural, a fermentation inhibitor, completely diminished the voltage increases. The deficiency of furfural pre-treated L. mesenteroides EH-1 in electricity production can be restored by the external addition of acetate into the bacterial culture, suggesting the function of acetate as an electron donor. Oral administration of HFD-fed mice with L. mesenteroides EH-1 in the presence or absence of glucose significantly attenuated the high level of pro-inflammatory IL-6 cytokine in blood. Bacterial electricity can be elicited by fermentation. Supplementation of fermenting and electrogenic L. mesenteroides EH-1 may provide a novel approach for the reduction of pro-inflammatory IL-6 cytokine that increased in chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases, cancers, and infections.
