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

Maintaining microbiota balance and enhancing the antioxidant performance of nanozyme-based probiotic systems are crucial for effective inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) therapy. Despite significant advancements, developing a green and safe coating technology that functionalizes probiotics with nanozymes while preserving the activity of both components remains a challenge. To address this, chitosan-modified epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG-CS, EC)is synthesized, leveraging the intrinsic adhesive and coordination properties of polyphenols to capture gold nanozymes (AuNPs), forming ECA complexes that enhance nanozyme activity. When coated onto Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN), the resulting ECA@EcN system effectively scavenged reactive oxygen species (ROS), improving probiotic viability and promoting colon accumulation. Mechanistically, ECA protected EcN by suppressing the activation of the Flagellar Assembly and Branched-Chain Amino Acid Synthesis pathways, ultimately alleviating inflammation and modulating intestinal microbial communities to relieve IBD symptoms. Given the biocompatibility of its components and the environmentally friendly assembly approach, this polyphenol-nanozyme-armored probiotic system represents a promising platform for IBD treatment.
