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

backgroundInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a gastrointestinal inflammatory disorder characterized by disturbed interactions between gut microbiota and host immune response. Barley leaf (BL) is a traditional Chinese herb recorded to have health-promoting effects. However, little is known about the beneficial role of BL against enteric infection-induced intestinal inflammation. Here, we uncover that BL protects against Citrobacter rodentium (C. rodentium)-induced infectious colitis by improving host-microbiota interactions.

methodsC3H/HeN mice were fed a diet with/without BL and infected with C. rodentium. Transcriptome sequencing, anti-CD4 antibody treatment, and flow cytometry were conducted to investigate the mechanisms of T cell immune modulation. The intervention involved administering anti-CD4 antibody at 500 µg each time for three times before and during C. rodentium infection. Analysis of gut microbiota composition was performed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing on fecal samples. Fecal microbiota transplantation was conducted by administering microbiota from donor group to recipient group via oral gavage to investigate the role of intestinal microbiota in immune modulation.

resultsBL ameliorated the severity of C. rodentium-induced colitis, and this effect was linked to improved gut homeostasis and enhanced mucosal barrier function. BL enriched the pathways of T helper 1 (Th1)/Th2 and Th17 cell differentiation in the colon, suggesting the involvement of CD4

conclusionsOur work thus provides evidence for utilizing BL and L. plantarum-derived EVs to manage enteric infection-associated IBD.
