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/

objectiveProbiotic and vitamin D supplements are widely studied in clinical and animal studies as potential treatments for inflammatory bowel disease. However, their potential synergistic or additive effect in ameliorating colitis development is still poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential beneficial enhancement of combining a mixed-strain probiotic with vitamin D supplementation in a colitis animal model.

methodAfter 5 days of acclimation, C57BL/6 mice received Vivomixx probiotic (at least 1 × 10

resultsAdministration of probiotic and vitamin D alone or combined decreased colonic damage and neutrophil recruitment and activity. This effect was associated with an increase in the active form of vitamin D in serum and mucosal barrier integrity. However, administration of probiotics and/or vitamin D did not modulate macrophage infiltration or the M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype.

conclusionsThese results suggest that combined probiotic and vitamin D supplementation attenuates TNBS-induced colitis by targeting neutrophil infiltration while enhancing the mucosal barrier. This alternative approach may offer protective potential for IBD management.
