Modulation of Inflammation Levels and the Gut Microbiota in Mice with DSS-Induced Colitis by a Balanced Vegetable Protein Diet.

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
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a nonspecific chronic inflammatory disease of the intestine that is mainly divided into ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Nutrients play important roles in the treatment of IBD. In this study, the effects of vegetable proteins on the regulation of IBD were explored via the amino acid scoring formula. Two diets with different amino acid scores, a balanced one and an imbalanced one, were assessed for their effects on acute colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). Pathological symptoms were evaluated by the disease activity index (DAI) and hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining, the expression of inflammatory factors and barrier proteins was determined via qPCR and western blotting, and the intestinal microbiota was examined via 16 S rRNA sequencing. The results indicated that the balanced vegetable protein diet (BVPD) relieved colitis by reducing the colonic histological score, inhibiting the expression of proinflammatory factors such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α and promoting the expression of tight junction proteins. Analysis of gut microbes revealed that the BVPD altered the structural composition of the intestinal flora in animals with DSS-induced colitis by increasing the abundance of beneficial bacteria (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, etc.). In conclusion, a BVPD effectively relieves colitis and may be a promising adjuvant strategy for the treatment of IBD.
