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

Mammals support offspring survival through efficient milk production, ensuring the transfer of essential nutrients and energy. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by gut microorganisms function as signalling molecules that influence host physiology. In this study, we observed an association between gut microbiota and lactation performance, with Limosilactobacillus johnsonii showing potential in promoting milk fat synthesis. Using a mouse model, we demonstrated that L. johnsonii-derived EVs enhance mammary gland function, leading to increased milk fat content and improved pup growth. Mechanistically, palmitic acid (C16:0) from L. Johnsonii EVs was found to induce the dynamic changes in CD36 palmitoylation in mammary epithelial cells, thereby facilitating fatty acid uptake as substrates for milk fat synthesis. Additionally, the increased availability of fatty acids further promotes the activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ), reinforcing its role in regulating milk fat synthesis. These findings provide new insights into the gut-mammary gland axis and its role in lactation regulation.
