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

Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder characterized by persistent intestinal inflammation, microbiota dysbiosis, and impaired mucosal barrier function. Conventional treatments, including pharmacological agents, biologics, and fecal microbiota transplantation, are limited by adverse effects, immune suppression, recurrence, and low patient acceptance. In this study, food-derived probiotic extracellular vesicles (EVs) from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum with dietary polysaccharide (chitosan) and polyphenol (tannic acid) are developed as a synergistic therapeutic strategy for inflammatory bowel disease. The engineered biohybrid with dual-functional coating confers gastrointestinal stability and colon-targeted delivery, while scavenging reactive oxygen species and preserving the intrinsic microbiota-regulating properties of probiotic EVs. Multi-omics approach reveals correlations among microbial community shifts, short-chain fatty acids, oxidative stress modulation, inflammatory cytokine profiles, and disease severity indices. This work provides a promising approach and reveals the synergistic mechanisms of engineered probiotic EVs in reshaping gut microbiota, modulating metabolic networks, and improving the inflammatory microenvironment for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
