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

Food allergy is a pathological condition caused by a disruption of oral tolerance. This condition leads to a pro-inflammatory environment that culminates in symptoms that varies from abdominal pain to anaphylaxis and death. The gold standard treatment consists of removing the food that triggers the allergy from diet. However, this conduct can cause nutritional impairment and social restrictions. Therefore, the need for new treatment strategies is notorious. In this context, probiotics are investigated due to their immunomodulatory mechanisms. Therefore, the objective of the present work is to investigate the probiotic potential of a mixture of four probiotic strains (Probiatop®) in an in vivo model of food allergy to ovalbumin (OVA). Our results demonstrated that oral administration of Probiatop® attenuated weight loss and diminished significantly anti-OVA IgE and IgG1 levels. Furthermore, it mitigated proximal jejunum injury, neutrophil recruitment and local IL17 levels. In addition, the probiotic mixture modulated positively the gut microbiota composition by decreasing the levels and frequency of Staphylococcus and yeast. In summary, our data suggest that Probiatop® has the potential to alleviate important symptoms of IgE-mediated food allergy, suggesting its probiotic potential as an adjuvant in the treatment of ovalbumin food allergy.
