Intermittent fasting exacerbates colon inflammation by promoting Th17 cell differentiation through inhibition of gut microbiota-derived indoleacrylic acid.

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.
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
backgroundIntermittent fasting (IF), particularly time-restricted feeding (TRF), is increasingly popular has gained popularity for weight loss, yet management, but its effects impact on gut health remain unclear. Remains inadequately understood. This study explores how investigated the effects of TRF effects on intestinal health and explored the underlying mechanisms.
aimTo assess the effects of IF on intestinal health, elucidate the mechanisms involved.
methodsMice were divided into two groups: Normal control (NC) and IF. The IF group underwent TRF, while the NC group had unrestricted access to food. Body weight, fecal characteristics, and intestinal morphology were analyzed. Colon tissue, serum, and fecal samples were collected for histological analysis, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, flow cytometry, 16S rRNA sequencing, and metabolomic profiling.
resultsIF significantly affected body weight and intestinal morphology, compromised the intestinal barrier, increased pro-inflammatory cytokines, and heightened gut immune activation (
conclusionProlonged IF exacerbates intestinal inflammation by impairing gut barrier integrity and disrupting microbial homeostasis. However, IAA supplementation effectively mitigates fasting-induced intestinal inflammation and immune imbalance, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent.
