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

backgroundThis study seeks to investigate the impacts of Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri) on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and uncover the mechanisms involved.

methodsMice in the I/R groups were orally administered low and high doses of L.reuteri (L.reuteri-low and L. reuteri-hi; 1 × 10

resultsAfter treatment with L. reuteri, mice exhibited reduced levels of serum aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, as well as a lower Suzuki score and apoptosis rate. L. reuteri effectively reversed the I/R-induced decrease in Bcl2 expression, and the significant increases in the levels of Bax, cleaved-Caspase3, p-p65/p65, p-IκB/IκB, p-p38/p38, p-JNK/JNK, and p-ERK/ERK. Furthermore, the administration of L. reuteri markedly reduced the inflammatory response and oxidative stress triggered by I/R. This treatment also facilitated the activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. L. reuteri effectively counteracted the decrease in levels of beneficial gut microbiota species (such as Blautia, Lachnospiraceae NK4A136, and Muribaculum) and metabolites (including palmitoylcarnitine) induced by I/R. Likewise, the introduction of exogenous palmitoylcarnitine demonstrated a beneficial impact in mitigating hepatic injury induced by I/R. However, when ML-385 was administered prior to palmitoylcarnitine treatment, the previously observed effects were reversed.

conclusionL. reuteri exerts protective effects against I/R-induced hepatic injury, and its mechanism may be related to the promotion of probiotic enrichment, differential metabolite homeostasis, and the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, laying the foundation for future clinical applications.
