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 is a huge disparity between the number of bacterial and yeast probiotics in favor of the former. The latest reports indicate that extracellular vehicles (EVs) play a significant role in probiotic mechanisms. In the present work, we compared the probiotic properties of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains (WUT3 and WUT151), which have never been previously characterized in this context, with commercial probiotic yeast-Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii CNCM-745. Notably, WUT3 and WUT151 reacted more mildly to the unfavorable simulated environment of saliva, stomach, small, and large intestines. As a result, we confirmed that WUT3 and WUT151 were superior to S. boulardii in terms of probiotic properties. Then, we performed a complex analysis of their EVs, isolated by a multistep filtration process. The nanoparticle tracing analysis showed no significant difference in the diameter of the vesicles between the strains. MTT studies confirmed that EVs are not toxic against normal human colorectal cell lines CCD-18 Co and CCD 841 CoN. However, toxicity was observed against the HT-29 cancer line. By staining EVs with Nile Red, we successfully visualized EVs-cell interactions. Finally, we explored the profile of proteins transported with the EVs, identifying a significant overrepresentation of extracellular proteins. Based on comparison with other proteomic data, we selected marker proteins for S. cerevisiae EVs. This knowledge will be helpful for further studies on tracking the transfer of the protein cargo of yeast EVs to human cells using, for instance, specific antibodies to these marker proteins.
