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

This study evaluated the immune-enhancing efficacy of Limosilactobacillus fermentum KBL375 isolated from the feces of healthy Koreans. KBL375-treated splenocytes showed enhancement of cytotoxicity against YAC-1 cells, the target of natural killer (NK) cells, with an increase in CD335, granzyme B, perforin, and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). Oral administration of KBL375 in mice with cyclophosphamide (CP)-induced immunosuppression improved body weight and immune functions, including immune organ indices, lymphocyte proliferations, and immunoglobulin (Ig) A levels. Notably, KBL375 increased NK cell cytotoxicity and proportion in immunosuppressed mice. Perforin/IFN-γ expression levels, which indicated NK cell activation, were also increased in KBL375-treated mice. Furthermore, KBL375 led to an increase in beneficial microbes, such as Bifidobacterium, in the gut microbiome of immunosuppressed mice, fostering a favorable intestinal microbial environment. These comprehensive results suggest that KBL375 exhibits potent immune regulatory functions and positively influences the gut microbiota, implying its potential as a probiotic agent for immune enhancement.
