GOS enhances BDNF-mediated mammary gland development in pubertal mice via the gut-brain axis.
Article in NPJ biofilms and microbiomes, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
The "gut-brain axis" is involved in many physiological processes. However, its role in regulating mammary gland (MG) development remains unknown. In this study, we established the mice model of bilateral subdiaphragmatic vagotomy (Vago) to clarify the effects of "gut-brain axis" on MG development in pubertal mice. The results showed that Vago reduced the ratio of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, neuronal excitability in the nucleus of solitary tract (NTS), and synthesis and secretion of BDNF, thereby slowing MG development. Transplanting the gut microbiota of Vago mice to recipient mice replicated these effects, and transplanting the gut microbiota of Control mice to Vago mice did not alleviate these effects. Galacto-Oligosaccharide (GOS), which up-regulates the ratio of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, supplementation elevated NTS neuron excitability, synthesis and secretion of BDNF, and MG development, but Vago reversed these benefits. In conclusion, GOS enhances BDNF-mediated mammary gland development in pubertal mice via the "gut-brain axis".
