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

Probiotics are used to prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) via the restoration of the gut microbiota. However, the precise effects of Akkermansia muciniphila (Akk), which is a promising probiotics, on AAD are unknown. Here, AAD models were established via the administration of lincomycin and ampicillin with or without pasteurized Akk or Amuc_1100 treatment. A diffusion test revealed that Akk was susceptible to the majority of the antibiotics, such as ampicillin. These effects were confirmed by the reduced Akk abundance in AAD model mice. Pasteurized Akk or Amuc_1100 significantly decreased the diarrhea status score and colon injury of AAD model mice. Additionally, these treatments significantly decreased the relative abundance of Citrobacter at genus level and reshaped the metabolic function of gut microbiota. Notably, pasteurized Akk or Amuc_1100 significantly changed the serum metabolome of AAD model mice. In addition, pasteurized Akk or Amuc_1100 suppressed intestinal inflammation by upregulating the expression of GPR109A and SLC5A8 and downregulating the expression of TNFα, IFNγ, IL1β, and IL6. Furthermore, they enhanced water and electrolyte absorption by upregulating AQP4, SLC26A3, and NHE3. Pasteurized Akk or Amuc_1100 also restored intestinal barrier function by ameliorating the downregulation of ZO-1, OCLN, CLDN4, and Muc2 in AAD model mice. In summary, optimizing intestinal health with pasteurized Akk or Amuc_1100 may serve as an approach for preventing AAD.
