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

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects both motor and non-motor functions of the body. Recently, scientists have attributed that gut dysbiosis plays a crucial role in the development and progression of PD. Purpose: In this study, we aim to determine the role of probiotic supplementation on gut dysbiosis, inflammatory responses at the systemic level, neurodegeneration and motor deficits. Methods: To develop a rat model of PD, 6-hydroxydopamine was bilaterally injected into the striatum. Starting from the first week after surgery, probiotics were administered orally for a period of four weeks. In this study, 18 rats were randomly divided into three groups ( Results: Probiotic supplementation significantly improved body weight, food intake, water intake and gastric emptying, along with improving gait. Additionally, probiotic supplementation reduced neuronal loss in the brains of PD rats. There was also a reduction in inflammatory markers, such as interleukin-6 and glutaminase, along with an elevation in brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels in the serum. This study is the first to demonstrate the beneficial effects of probiotics in improving motor deficits and gastric emptying in a PD model. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that probiotic supplementation has the potential to slow down PD progression by preventing gut dysbiosis and neurodegeneration.
