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

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an immune system disorder primarily characterized by colitis, the exact etiology of which remains unclear. Traditional treatment approaches currently yield limited efficacy and are associated with significant side effects. Extensive research has indicated the potent therapeutic effects of probiotics, particularly Lactobacillus strains, in managing colitis. However, the mechanisms through which Lactobacillus strains ameliorate colitis require further exploration. In our study, we selected Lactobacillus gasseri ATCC33323 from the intestinal microbiota to elucidate the specific mechanisms involved in modulation of colitis. Experimental findings in a DSS-induced colitis mouse model revealed that L. gasseri ATCC33323 significantly improved physiological damage in colitic mice, reduced the severity of colonic inflammation, decreased the production of inflammatory factors, and preserved the integrity of the intestinal epithelial structure and function. It also maintained the expression and localization of adhesive proteins while improving intestinal barrier permeability and restoring dysbiosis in the gut microbiota. E-cadherin, a critical adhesive protein, plays a pivotal role in this protective mechanism. Knocking down E-cadherin expression within the mouse intestinal tract significantly attenuated the ability of L. gasseri ATCC33323 to regulate colitis, thus confirming its protective role through E-cadherin. Finally, transcriptional analysis and in vitro experiments revealed that L. gasseri ATCC33323 regulates CDH1 transcription by affecting NR1I3, thereby promoting E-cadherin expression. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the specific mechanisms by which Lactobacillus strains alleviate colitis, offering new insights for the potential use of L. gasseri as an alternative therapy for IBD, particularly in dietary supplementation.
