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

Gut-resident microorganisms have time-limited effects in distant tissues during early life. However, the reasons behind this phenomenon are largely unknown. Here, using bacterial culture techniques, we show that a subset of live gut-resident bacteria translocate and disseminate to extraintestinal tissues (mesenteric lymph nodes and spleen) in preweaning (day of life 17), but not adult (day of life 35), mice. Translocation and dissemination in preweaning mice appeared physiologic as it did not induce an inflammatory response and required host goblet cells, the formation of goblet cell-associated antigen passages, sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor-dependent leukocyte trafficking and phagocytic cells. One translocating strain, Lactobacillus animalis
