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

Introduction: Methods: In this study, we utilized gnotobiotic mice harboring the altered Schaedler flora (ASF) from either C3H/HeN or 129S6/SvEv genetic backgrounds. These mice, subjected to various inflammatory conditions, were orally challenged with SPtA. The colonization and persistence of the pathogen were assessed in both intestinal and extraintestinal tissues, while also examining changes in gut microbiota, the expression of tight junction proteins, cytokines, and histopathological changes. Results: Our findings revealed that both the inflammatory state and the sex of the ASF mice significantly affected the colonization of SPtA. Notably, infection of the 129S6/SvEv Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that ASF mice represent a suitable low-cost model for investigating the pathogenesis of SPtA infection. The presence of ASF creates an open niche for SPtA colonization, allowing for the retention of a defined microbiome. This enables researchers to study perturbations in the microbiome without the limitations inherent to an antibiotic-treated model alternative. Furthermore, the chronic inflammatory conditions associated with
