Oral administration of D-serine prevents the onset and progression of colitis in mice.
Article in Journal of gastroenterology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundL-amino acids are the predominant forms of organic molecules on the planet, but recent studies have revealed that various foods contain D-amino acids, the enantiomers of L-amino acids. Though diet plays important roles in both the development and progression of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), to our best knowledge, there has been no report on any potential interactions between D-amino acids and IBD. In this report, we aim to assess the effects of D-serine in a murine model of IBD. MATERIALS AND
methodsTo induce chronic colitis, naïve CD4 T cells (CD4
resultsMice treated with D-serine prior to the induction of colitis exhibited a reduction in T-cell infiltration into the lamina propria and colonic inflammation that were not seen in mice fed with water alone or L-serine. Moreover, D-serine suppressed the progression of chronic colitis when administered after the disease induction. Under in vitro conditions, D-serine suppressed the proliferation of activated CD4 T cells and limited their ability to differentiate to Th1 and Th17 cells.
conclusionOur results suggest that D-serine not only can prevent, but also has efficacious effects as a treatment for IBD.
