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

The beneficial effects of probiotics on ameliorating ulcerative colitis (UC) have attracted much attention in recent years. Nevertheless, the number of these identified probiotics is still limited. In addition, the adhesion abilities of probiotics are considered to be a key determinant for probiotic efficacy. However, the relationship between the adhesion abilities of probiotics and their role in ameliorating UC has been poorly studied to date. This study measured the adhesion abilities of four Lactobacillus strains to Caco-2 cells and their anti-adhesion effects on Caco-2 cells against pathogenic bacteria, as well as their application in ameliorating the symptoms of dextran sulfate sodium-induced UC, and further illustrated the relationship between these two potential probiotic properties of probiotics and their beneficial effects on UC. Results suggested that the adhesion abilities of the four tested Lactobacillus strains exists highly strain-specific and the mechanisms of their anti-adhesion effect on Caco-2 cells against Escherichia coli may be different. Moreover, all these strains had promising effects on ameliorating UC by reducing inflammatory response and improving the intestinal mucosal barrier function, as well as promoting the production of SCFAs. In conclusion, the four tested Lactobacillus strains can be considered as alternative dietary supplements in alleviating UC. In addition, it could be concluded that there is no significant correlation between the adhesion abilities of probiotics and their role in ameliorating UC, which further illustrated that the adhesion properties of probiotics in vitro may not be suitable as the key criterion for screening potential strains with UC-alleviating effects.
