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

Eubacterium rectale (E. rectale) has the ability to attenuate systemic and intestinal inflammation. Its naturally secreted membrane vesicles (MVs) likely play a crucial role in this process. The objective of this study is to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of E. rectale and its membrane vesicles (MVs). An inflammation model was established by inducing an inflammatory response in Raw 264.7 cells using lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Subsequently, the cells were pre-treated with E. rectale and its MVs, and the expression levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-10 in the cells were then detected using RT-qPCR. ELISA was used to measure the secretion levels of IL-1β, while western blot analysis was employed to assess the expression of key proteins in the IL-1β pathway, specifically ASC, Caspase 1, and NLRP3. The results revealed that both E. rectale and its MVs significantly reduced the expression of the inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α in Raw 264.7 cells, which were induced by LPS. Additionally, they markedly upregulated the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 and suppressed IL-1β expression via the NLRP3-Caspase 1-ASC signaling pathway. These findings suggest that E. rectale, through its membrane vesicles, can attenuate LPS-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation, thereby mitigating the inflammatory response in Raw 264.7 cells.
