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

The interaction between the gut microbiota and the host immune system is pivotal in maintaining health or driving disease pathogenesis. The gut microbiota directly or indirectly modulates immune cells activation and inflammatory cytokines secretion through microbial metabolites, including short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), tryptophan metabolites, bile acids, and polyamines. Conversely, the immune system regulates microbial community composition by maintaining the integrity of the epithelial barrier. In addition, antibiotics and probiotics can further regulate the inflammatory response by altering gut microbiota structure and microbial metabolites levels. This review systematically examines the bidirectional regulatory mechanisms among the gut microbiota, microbial metabolites, and inflammatory cytokines, and explores the impact of antibiotics and probiotics on this interaction network. These insights provide new targets for immune-related diseases.
