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

Alterations in the gut microbiome, including diet-driven changes, are linked to the rising prevalence of food allergy. However, little is known about how specific gut bacteria trigger the breakdown of oral tolerance. Here we show that depriving specific-pathogen-free mice of dietary fibre leads to a gut microbiota signature with increases in the mucin-degrading bacterium Akkermansia muciniphila. This signature is associated with intestinal barrier dysfunction, increased expression of type 1 and 2 cytokines and IgE-coated commensals in the colon, which result in an exacerbated allergic reaction to food allergens, ovalbumin and peanut. To demonstrate the causal role of A. muciniphila, we employed a tractable synthetic human gut microbiota in gnotobiotic mice. The presence of A. muciniphila within the microbiota, combined with fibre deprivation, resulted in stronger anti-commensal IgE coating and innate type-2 immune responses, which worsened symptoms of food allergy. Our study provides important insights into how gut microbes can regulate immune pathways of food allergy in a diet-dependent manner.
