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

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like indomethacin alter gut microbiota composition and disrupt intestinal integrity, increasing the risks of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Gut barrier function is regulated by a complex crosstalk between different cell types, including epithelial cells and cells from the enteric nervous system (ENS). Human milk oligosaccharides (hMOs), particularly 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL) and 3-fucosyllactose (3-FL), can regulate intestinal barrier function, but their roles in neuroepithelial crosstalk under NSAID stress remain unclear. This study focused on hMOs' direct epithelial effects to explore their potential in microbiota-independent effects caused by the NSAID indomethacin. T84 colorectal carcinoma cells were cocultured with SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells in ratios of 29:1 and 14:1. We evaluated the protective role of hMOs in indomethacin-induced barrier disruption. We found that indomethacin reduced transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER), disrupted F-actin organization, and decreased tight junction (TJ) protein expression. Pretreatment with 2'-FL and 3-FL protected against these effects, particularly in cocultures with a higher nerve cell ratio of 14:1, restoring TEER, F-actin integrity, and claudin-1 expression. These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of 2'-FL and 3-FL in directly maintaining barrier integrity in intestinal neuroepithelial cocultures during NSAID treatment.
