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

Recent research has highlighted the importance of the gut microbiome in regulating aging, and probiotics are interventions that can promote gut health. In this study, we surveyed several novel lactic acid bacteria to examine their beneficial effect on organismal health and lifespan in C. elegans. We found that animals fed some lactic acid bacteria, including L. acidophilus 1244 and L. paracasei subsp. paracasei 2004, grew healthy. Supplementation with the lactic acid bacterial strains L. acidophilus 1244 or L. paracasei subsp. paracasei 2004 significantly improved health, including food consumption, motility, and resistance to oxidative stressor, hydrogen peroxide. Our RNA-seq analysis showed that supplementation with L. paracasei subsp. paracasei 2004 significantly increased the expression of daf-16, a C. elegans FoxO homolog, as well as genes related to the stress response. Furthermore, daf-16 deletion inhibited the longevity effect of L. paracasei subsp. paracasei 2004 supplementation. Our results suggest that L. paracasei subsp. paracasei 2004 improves health and lifespan in a DAF-16-dependent manner.
