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

Supplementation with specific probiotics has been shown to improve allergic airway symptoms. This study aimed to investigate immunomodulatory effects of a potential probiotic strain isolated from breast milk, Lactobacillus paragasseri BBM171 (BBM171), in an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic mouse model. OVA-sensitized and OVA-challenged BALB/c mice were orally administered live or heat-inactivated BBM171 for 48 consecutive days. After the last allergen challenge, serum immunoglobulin (Ig) levels, inflammatory cell levels in the lungs, and cytokine levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were assessed. The results showed that oral administration of live or heat-inactivated BBM171 decreased serum levels of total IgE, OVA-specific IgE, and OVA-specific IgG1, while increasing OVA-specific IgG2a and reducing the extent of airway inflammation in OVA-induced allergic mice. In addition, both live and heat-inactivated BBM171 modulated the cytokine profile in BALF to a type 1 T helper (Th1) response. Furthermore, ex vivo experiments using OVA-induced allergic mouse splenocytes showed that both live and heat-inactivated BBM171 could regulate the Th1/Th2 balance, decrease the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-17 level, and increase the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 level. Taken together, these results suggest that oral administration of live or heat-inactivated BBM171 improved allergen-induced airway inflammation symptoms by modulating the host immune response toward Th1 dominance.
