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

Hydrogen sulfide is a gaseous, reactive molecule specifically enriched in the gastrointestinal tract. Here, we uncover a non-redundant role for sulfide in the control of both microbial and immune homeostasis of the gut. Notably, depletion of sulfide via both pharmaceutical and dietary interventions led to a profound collapse of CD4 T cells in the ileum of the small intestine lamina propria and significant impact on microbial ecology. As a result, mice with reduced sulfide within the gut were deficient in their ability to mount T cell dependent antibody responses to oral vaccine. Mechanistically, our results support the idea that sulfide could act directly on CD4 T cells via enhanced AP-1 activation, leading to heightened proliferation and cytokine production. This study uncovers sulfides as keystone components in gut ecology and provides mechanistic insight between diet, gut sulfide production and mucosal immunity.
