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

The intestinal flora has attracted much attention in recent years. An imbalance in the intestinal flora can cause not only intestinal diseases but also cause a variety of parenteral diseases, such as endocrine diseases, nervous system diseases and cardiovascular diseases. Research on the mechanism of disease is likely to be hampered by sample accessibility, ethical issues, and differences between cellular animal and physiological studies. However, advances in stem cell culture have made it possible to reproduce 3D human tissues in vitro that mimic the cellular, anatomical and functional characteristics of real organs. Recent studies have shown that organoids can be used to simulate the development and disease of the gut and intestinal flora and have a wide range of applications in intestinal flora physiology and disease. Intestinal organoids provide a preeminent in vitro model system for cultivating microbiota that influence GI physiology, as well as for understanding how they encounter intestinal epithelial cells and cause disease. The mechanistic details obtained from such modelling may provide new avenues for the prevention and treatment of many gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Researchers are now starting to take inspiration from other fields, such as bioengineering, and the rise of interdisciplinary approaches, including organoid chip technology and microfluidics, has greatly accelerated the development of organoids to generate intestinal organoids that are more physiologically relevant and suitable for gut microbiota studies. Here, we describe the development of organoid models of gut biology and the application of organoids to study the pathophysiology of diseases caused by intestinal dysbiosis.
