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

The cell is the basic unit of life. It is composed of organelles and various organic and inorganic biomolecules. Recent 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (16S rRNA) gene sequencing studies have revealed the presence of tissue bacteria in both tumor and normal tissues. Recently, we found that the liver microbiome resided in hepatocytes. Here, we further report on the cellular microbiome in the parenchymal cells of visceral organs as inherent inhabitants. We performed 16S rRNA gene sequencing on visceral organs of male adult Sprague Dawley (SD) rats, pregnant rats, newborn rats, and fetuses and placentas; then, we performed fluorescence in situ hybridization and immunofluorescence in visceral organs. Furthermore, we performed Western blotting on nuclear and cytoplasmic extractions of visceral organs of SD rats and cell lines HepG2, Huh-7, Hepa1-6, and HSC-T6. A high abundance of 16S rRNA gene was detected in the visceral organs of male adult, pregnant, newborn, and fetal rats as well as their placentas. The number of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) of visceral bacteria was higher than that of the feces and ileum bacteria. Bacterial 16S rRNA, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and lipoteichoic acid (LTA) were found in the parenchymal cells of visceral organs, as well as in HepG2, Huh-7, HSC-T6, and Hepa1-6 cells. LPS consistently appeared in the nucleus of cells, while LTA was mainly found in the cytoplasm. In conclusion, the cellular microbiome is an intrinsic component of cells. Gram-negative bacteria are located in the nucleus, and Gram-positive bacteria are located in the cytoplasm. This differs from the gut microbiome and may be inherited.
