Bifidobacterium longum NSP001-derived extracellular vesicles ameliorate ulcerative colitis by modulating T cell responses in gut microbiota-(in)dependent manners.
Article in NPJ biofilms and microbiomes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Recent studies have shown that intestinal commensal bacteria-derived vesicles may have potential effects in alleviating ulcerative colitis (UC). Although Bifidobacterium longum is widely used to prevent colitis, the potential role of B. longum-derived extracellular vesicles has yet to be explored. Here, we extracted B. longum NSP001-derived extracellular vesicles (NEVs) and investigated the regulatory roles of NEVs in colitis. Our results demonstrated that NEVs alleviate UC by improving intestinal barrier, modulating immune cell differentiation, and promoting the production of SCFAs. NEVs' improvement of inflammation in pseudo-germ-free mice implies that the anti-inflammatory effect of NEVs does not exclusively depend on the regulation of gut microbiota. In conclusion, we suggest that B. longum NSP001 improves UC through the secretion of NEVs. In addition, the study emphasizes the critical role of NEVs in maintaining host immune homeostasis via suppressing STAT3 pathway, thereby highlighting their potential as a novel postbiotic to alleviate UC.
