Gut microbiota-derived arginine metabolism mitigates intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Article in Journal of translational medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
backgroundIntestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a severe pathological condition characterized by disruption of the mucosal barrier, immune dysregulation, and gut microbiota imbalance. However, whether the gut microbiota regulates immune homeostasis and mucosal repair through arginine metabolism remains unclear.
methodsWe employed antibiotic-treated and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) mouse models, MNK-3 cells, metabolomics, arginine supplementation, and CASTOR1 knockout mice to evaluate intestinal barrier integrity, inflammatory responses, and signaling pathways following I/R injury.
resultsI/R injury induced significant microbial dysbiosis and decreased fecal arginine levels. FMT demonstrated that microbial alterations reshaped arginine metabolism in recipient mice. Arginine supplementation restored tight junction protein expression, downregulated pro-inflammatory cytokines, enhanced interleukin (IL)-22 secretion, and suppressed IL-17 upregulation. Mechanistically, arginine activated mTORC1 signaling via CASTOR1, thereby promoting IL-22 production, whereas CASTOR1 deficiency or mTORC1 inhibition markedly impaired its protective effects.
conclusionsThe gut microbiota functions as an upstream regulator of arginine metabolism during I/R injury. Arginine confers immunoprotection by activating the CASTOR1–mTORC1–ILC3 axis, enhancing cytokine secretion and promoting mucosal repair. These findings reveal a novel microbiota–metabolism–immunity interplay and suggest nutrient-sensing pathways as promising therapeutic targets in intestinal injury.
