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

Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) is an immunoinflammatory disorder with complex pathogenesis. Emerging evidence implicates that gut microbiota dysbiosis plays a pivotal role in this pathological network. Integrated 16S rRNA sequencing and untargeted metabolomics revealed distinct CSU-associated signatures, including significant reductions in Lactobacillus abundance and elevated serum uric acid (UA) and hypoxanthine levels. Functional screening identified Lactobacillus paragasseri LG-1 from breast milk as a potent purine-metabolising strain, demonstrating significant hypoxanthine and UA degradation in vitro. In an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced urticaria murine model, LG-1 administration demonstrated marked reductions in serum UA and hypoxanthine concentrations, alleviated clinical manifestations, and suppressed inflammation via TLR4-NF-κB pathway inhibition. Moreover, it modulated gut microbial composition by promoting Lactobacillus proliferation while restraining pathogenic bacteria. These findings collectively established that LG-1 exerted dual therapeutic effects through uric acid/hypoxanthine degradation and microbiome remodelling. Our study provides compelling evidence for microbiome-targeted strategies in CSU management, highlighting LG-1 as a promising therapeutic candidate.
