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 gut dysbiosis is associated with the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). Probiotics have been demonstrated to impact disease progression via the gut-brain axis. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic potential of Akkermansia Muciniphila Akk11 (Akk11) in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced PD mouse model. Our results indicated that Akk11 administration significantly improved the MPTP-induced behavioral abnormalities, reduced the loss of dopaminergic neurons, microglia activation, reversed the production of inflammatory cytokines, and colonic damage. Mechanistic studies showed that Akk11 administration suppressed inflammatory responses by inhibiting microglial NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In summary, Akk11 alleviated MPTP-induced motor deficits and neural damage by inhibiting microglial NLRP3 inflammasome. These findings suggest that Akk11 supplementation has therapeutic potential in treating PD through the gut-brain axis.
