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 initial exposure to pathogens and commensals confers innate immune cells the capacity to respond distinctively upon a second stimulus. This training capacity might play key functions in developing an adequate innate immune response to the continuous exposure to bacteria. However, the mechanisms involved in induction of trained immunity by commensals remain mostly unexplored. A. muciniphila represents an attractive candidate to study the promotion of these long-term responses. Here, we show that priming of macrophages with live A. muciniphila enhances bacterial intracellular survival and decreases the release of pro- and anti-inflammatory signals, lowering the production of TNF and IL-10. Global transcriptional analysis of macrophages after a secondary exposure to the bacteria showed the transcriptional rearrangement underpinning the phenotype observed compared to acutely exposed cells, with the increased expression of genes related to phagocytic capacity and those involved in the metabolic adjustment conducing to innate immune training. Accordingly, key genes related to bacterial killing and pro-inflammatory pathways were downregulated. These data demonstrate the importance of specific bacterial members in the modulation of local long-term innate immune responses, broadening our knowledge of the association between gut microbiome commensals and trained immunity as well as the anti-inflammatory probiotic potential of A. muciniphila.
