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

introductionThe gut microbiome is vital for providing resistance against colonized pathogenicbacteria. Recently, specific commensal species have become recognized as important mediators of host defense against microbial infection by a variety of mechanisms.

objectivesTo examine the contribution of live and pasteurized A. muciniphila to defend against the intestinal pathogen Salmonella Typhimurium in a streptomycin-treated mouse model of infection.

methodsC57B6J mice were pretreated with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), live Akkermansia muciniphila (AKK), and pasteurized A. muciniphila (pAKK) for two weeks, then mice were infected by S. Typhimurium SL 1344. 16S rRNA-based gut microbiota analysis was performed before and after infection. Bacterial counts in feces and tissues, histopathological analysis, gut barrier-related gene expression, and antimicrobial peptides were examined. Co-housing was performed to examine the role of microbiota in the change of susceptibility of mice to infection.

resultsAKK and pAKK markedly decreased Salmonella fecal and systemic burdens and reduced inflammation during infection. Notably, further characterization of AKK and pAKK protective mechanisms revealed different candidate protective pathways. AKK promoted gutbarrier gene expression and the secretion of antimicrobial peptides, and co-housing studies suggested that AKK-associated microbial community played a role in attenuating infection. Moreover, pAKK had a positive effect on NLRP3 in infected mice. We verified that pretreatment of pAKK could promote the expression of NLRP3, and enhance the antimicrobial activity of macrophage, likely through increasing the production of reactive oxygen (ROS), nitric oxide (NO), and inflammatory cytokines.

conclusionOur study demonstrates that live or pasteurized A. muciniphila can be effective preventive measures for alleviating S. Typhimurium-induced disease, highlighting the potential of developing Akkermansia-based probiotics or postbiotics for the prevention of Salmonellosis.
