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

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a widespread inflammatory skin condition that affects the population worldwide. Given the implication of microbiota in AD pathogenesis, we investigated whether human-derived Lactobacillus strains could modulate AD. In this study, we identified Lactobacillus crispatus KBL693 as a probiotic candidate for AD treatment. In vitro, KBL693 suppressed mast cell degranulation and IL-4 production by T cells, suggesting its ability to attenuate key type 2 immune responses. Consistent outcomes were observed in a murine AD model, where oral administration of KBL693 alleviated disease symptoms and reduced hallmark type 2 immune markers, including plasma IgE as well as IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 levels in skin lesions. In addition to downregulating these AD-associated immune responses, KBL693 promoted regulatory T cell (Treg) expansion in mesenteric lymph nodes, indicating its potential to restore immune balance. Collectively, these findings highlight the therapeutic potential of KBL693 for AD through enhancement of Tregs and suppression of type 2 immune responses.
