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

backgroundSepsis-induced organ failure and high mortality are largely ascribed to the failure of bacterial clearance from the infected tissues. Recently, probiotic bacteria-released extracellular vesicles (BEVs) have been implicated as critical mediators of intercellular communication which are widely involved in the regulation of the inflammatory response. However, their functional role in macrophage phagocytosis during sepsis has never been explored.

methodsBEVs were collected from three different strains of probiotics including Lactiplantibacillus plantarum WCFS1 (LP WCFS1), Lactobacillus rhamnosus Gorbach-Goldin (LGG), and Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN), or from LGG cultured under three pH conditions (pH5-acid, pH6.5-standard, pH8-akaline) through differential centrifugation, filtration, and ultracentrifugation of their culture supernatants. In vitro phagocytosis was measured in Raw264.7 cells and bone marrow-derived macrophages using pHrodo red E. coli BioParticles. The in vivo therapeutic effects of BEVs were tested using a feces-injection-in-peritoneum (FIP) model of polymicrobial sepsis.

resultsLGG-derived EVs (BEV

conclusionsThis study demonstrates that LGG-derived BEVs may have therapeutic effects against sepsis-induced organ injury and mortality through enhancing FPR1/2-mediated macrophage phagocytosis.
