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 health benefits of wheat-derived arabinoxylan, a commonly consumed dietary fiber, have been studied for decades. However, its effect on the gut microenvironment and inflammatory bowel disease remains unclear. The objective of this study was to understand the effect of wheat-derived arabinoxylan on gut microbiota, colonic regulatory T cells (Tregs), and experimental colitis. In this study, healthy and chronic colitis model mice were fed chow containing cellulose or wheat-derived arabinoxylan for 2-6 weeks and subjected to subsequent analysis. A 16S-based metagenomic analysis of the fecal DNA revealed that Lachnospiraceae, comprising butyrate-producing and Treg-inducing bacteria, were overrepresented in arabinoxylan-fed mice. In line with the changes in the gut microbiota, both the fecal butyrate concentration and the colonic Treg population were elevated in the arabinoxylan-fed mice. In a T cell transfer model of chronic colitis, wheat-derived arabinoxylan ameliorated body weight loss and colonic tissue inflammation, which may, in part, be mediated by Treg induction. Moreover, wheat-derived arabinoxylan suppressed TNFα production from type 1 helper T cells in this colitis model. In conclusion, wheat-derived arabinoxylans, by altering the gut microenvironment, may be a promising prebiotic for the prevention of colitis.
