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 role of the human intestinal tract in host-microbe interactions has been highlighted in recent years. Several 3-dimensional (3D) models have been developed to reproduce the physiological characteristics of the human gut and to investigate the function of the gut microbiota. One challenge for 3D models is to recapitulate the low oxygen concentrations in the intestinal lumen. Moreover, most earlier 3D culture systems used a membrane to physically separate bacteria from the intestinal epithelium, which has sometimes made the studies of bacteria adhering to or invading cells less feasible. We report the establishment of a 3D gut epithelium model and cultured it at high cell viability under an anaerobic condition. We further cocultured intestinal bacteria including both commensal and pathogen directly with epithelial cells in the established 3D model under the anaerobic condition. We subsequently compared the gene expression differences of aerobic and anaerobic conditions for cell and bacterial growth via dual RNA sequencing. Our study provides a physiologically relevant 3D gut epithelium model that mimics the anaerobic condition in the intestinal lumen and supplies a powerful system for future in-depth gut-microbe interactional investigations.
