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

purposeThis study aims to evaluate the effects of prebiotics and probiotics on colorectal cancer (CRC) progression in an AOM/DSS-induced mouse model.

methodsIn AOM/DSS-induced mouse model, treatment groups received either S. herbacea as a prebiotic (PRE) or in combination with Lactobacillus plantarum as a probiotic (PRO). PCNA, Ki-67, β-catenin, c-Myc, and Nrf2 were evaluated using immunohistochemistry (IHC). The impact on polyp formation and progression was assessed by categorizing polyps according to their size.

resultsBoth PRE and PRO treatments resulted in a significant reduction in large polyp formation when compared to AOM/DSS induced control group. IHC analyses demonstrated reduced biomarker expression for cell proliferation in PRE and PRO groups, specifically showing decreased staining for PCNA, Ki-67, β-catenin, and c-Myc, indicating downregulation of Wnt signaling and suppressed cell proliferation. Reduced Nrf2 expression highlights the impact of treatments interfering with cancer cell defenses. Notably, there were no significant differences in the outcomes between PRE and PRO groups, suggesting that prebiotics show anticancer effects.

conclusionThe study suggests that S. herbacea, a prebiotic, effectively suppresses CRC progression, with limited additional benefits from combining with probiotics. These findings underscore the therapeutic potential of prebiotics in CRC.
