Epithelial-Derived Reactive Oxygen Species Enable AppBCX-Mediated Aerobic Respiration of Escherichia coli during Intestinal Inflammation.
Article in Cell host & microbe, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 51 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
The intestinal epithelium separates host tissue and gut-associated microbial communities. During inflammation, the host releases reactive oxygen and nitrogen species as an antimicrobial response. The impact of these radicals on gut microbes is incompletely understood. We discovered that the cryptic appBCX genes, predicted to encode a cytochrome bd-II oxidase, conferred a fitness advantage for E. coli in chemical and genetic models of non-infectious colitis. This fitness advantage was absent in mice that lacked epithelial NADPH oxidase 1 (NOX1) activity. In laboratory growth experiments, supplementation with exogenous hydrogen peroxide enhanced E. coli growth through AppBCX-mediated respiration in a catalase-dependent manner. We conclude that epithelial-derived reactive oxygen species are degraded in the gut lumen, which gives rise to molecular oxygen that supports the aerobic respiration of E. coli. This work illustrates how epithelial host responses intersect with gut microbial metabolism in the context of gut inflammation.
