Nano-functionalized probiotic treats atherosclerosis via inhibiting intestinal microbiota-TMA-TMAO axis.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Many patients are suffering from atherosclerosis without typical risk factors, which can cause severe cardiovascular complications. Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), derived from gut microbes, is a key unconventional contributor to the development of atherosclerosis. Here we present a strategy performed by orally administered nano-functionalized probiotics (PDMF@LGG) to inhibit TMAO through the gut microbiota-trimethylamine (TMA)-TMAO axis. PDMF@LGG, composed of polydopamine-coated Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG and nanoparticles based on a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive polymeric prodrug of fluoromethylcholine (FMC), can promote the retention of probiotics and nanoparticles in the intestine to persistently scavenge elevated ROS and release drugs. This process suppresses TMA production and absorption, lowering plasma TMAO levels. The therapeutic effects on male ApoE
