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

Intestinal fibrosis (IF), a severe complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), remains a critical unmet clinical need. Although the LL37 peptide and probiotics demonstrate therapeutic potential against IF, their clinical translation is hampered by enzymatic hydrolysis and rapid clearance. Here, inspired by the strategy of bacteriocin transport by bacteria (BTB), we developed an orally administered biotherapeutic platform [BTB-alginate (Alg)] featuring an "all-in-one" architecture that enables spatiotemporal coordination of LL37 and probiotics. The BTB-Alg effectively restored intestinal homeostasis through inflammation resolution, immune modulation, and gut microbiota reconstitution. Notably, integrated multiomics analysis and molecular dynamics simulations revealed that LL37 exerts antifibrotic effects by inducing adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin-mediated autophagy, a mechanism validated in clinical specimens. BTB-Alg exhibited potent therapeutic efficacy in three murine models of acute colitis, IBD-associated IF, and
