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

Accumulating data suggest that remodeling aged gut microbiota improves aging-related imbalance in intestinal homeostasis. However, evidence in favor of the beneficial effect of remodeling gut microbiota on intestinal stress and immune responses during aging is scarce. The current study revealed that old mice presented impaired gut barrier integrity. Transcriptome sequencing coupled with bioinformatics analysis revealed that aging altered gene expression profiles of the colon and mesenteric lymph nodes, which are involved mainly in stress and immune responses, respectively. Notably, gut microbiota was closely related to the differentially expressed genes. Microbiota depletion in old mice ameliorated gut barrier integrity and partially reversed the inflammatory factors upregulated in aging mice. Furthermore, fecal microbiota transplantation from young mice to old mice resulted in a significant improvement in intestinal barrier integrity and immune homeostasis. These findings highlight the potential of microbiota-targeted interventions on aging-related physiological processes and call for further investigation.
