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

backgroundNumerous studies have demonstrated the significant role of Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) in enhancing host immune responses and metabolic functions. However, its increased presence in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients has led to a focus on the relationships between A. muciniphila and diseases, with the underlying mechanisms remaining unknown.

methodSolochrome cyanin, hematoxylin-eosin staining (H&E) and immunofluorescence staining were used to assess demyelination and inflammation. Gut microbiota changes were examined by 16S rRNA sequencing. Intracellular cytokine levels were assessed by flow cytometry. Cognitive impairment was evaluated using four behavioral tests. Intestinal barrier function and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3)-mediated neuroinflammation were evaluated by immunoblotting.

resultsWe found that treatment with an appropriate dose of A. muciniphila (5.0 × 10

conclusionOur results suggest that A. muciniphila holds promise as a probiotic for treating NLRP3-associated inflammatory disorders and cognitive impairment, including MS.
