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

Mounting evidence suggests that the gut microbiota plays an important role in the pathogenesis of mastitis, an important disease affecting the health of lactating women and the development of the dairy industry. However, the effect of the regulation of the gut microbiota by dietary components on mastitis development remains unknown. In this study, we found that a fiber-enriched diet alleviated Staphylococcus aureus (S. au)-induced mastitis in mice, which was dependent on the gut microbiota as depletion of the gut microbiota by antibiotics abolished this protective effect. Likewise, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from high-inulin (HI)-treated mice (HIF) to recipient mice improved S. au-induced mastitis in mice. Consumption of an HI diet and HIF increased fecal short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels compared with the control group. Moreover, treatment with SCFAs, especially butyrate, alleviated S. au-induced mastitis in mice. Mechanistically, consumption of an HI diet enhanced the host antimicrobial program in macrophages through inhibiting histone deacetylase 3 by the production of butyrate. Collectively, our results suggest that modulation of the gut microbiota and its metabolism by dietary components is a potential strategy for mastitis intervention and serve as a basis for other infectious diseases.
