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

There are limited studies on the improvement of leaky gut with minor inflammation associated with various diseases. To explore the therapeutic potential of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 22 A-3, a member of the Lactobacillus species, in addressing a leaky gut. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 22 A-3 was administered to a leaky gut mice model with low dextran sulfate sodium concentrations. The Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 22 A-3-treated group exhibited amelioration of increased intestinal permeability, as indicated by lower blood fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran levels compared with that of the control group. Furthermore, the messenger RNA expression of interleukin-10, an anti-inflammatory cytokine, was upregulated in the small intestine of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 22 A-3-treated mice. Moreover, forkhead box P3 was upregulated in the small intestine and colon following Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 22 A-3 administration. Flow cytometry showed that forkhead box P3-positive regulatory T cells tended to increase in the small intestine and colon; however, this was not significant. Messenger RNA levels for the pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1 beta, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha showed no significant changes in the small intestine; however, their expressions significantly decreased in the colon. Blood fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran levels showed that intestinal permeability also decreased in Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 22 A-3-dead bacteria. The bacterial component of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 22 A-3 ameliorates increased intestinal permeability through its anti-inflammatory effect in the intestinal tract and may be a novel treatment for leaky gut.
