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

A subset of commensal bacterial strains secretes bacteriocins, such as lantibiotics, to inhibit or kill neighboring bacteria, thereby protecting their niche in the gut. The antimicrobial spectrum of lantibiotics includes pathogens, offering a potential therapeutic approach for antibiotic-resistant infections. However, the impact of lantibiotic-producing bacteria on the microbiome remains poorly defined. We find that bacterial species encoding lanthipeptide genes in hospitalized patients are present in greater abundance than lantibiotic-deficient strains of the same species. Among the lanthipeptide sequences, some overlapped with the lantibiotic genes of Blautia pseudococcoides SCSK (BpSCSK). In mice, BpSCSK administration prevents intestinal recolonization by a wide range of commensal species following antibiotic-induced dysbiosis and markedly reduces fecal concentrations of microbiota-derived metabolites. Lantibiotic-mediated dysbiosis results in sustained loss of colonization resistance against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Clostridioides difficile infection. Our findings reveal the impact of lantibiotic-producing bacterial species on microbiome resilience and susceptibility to infection following antibiotic treatment.
