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

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is characterized by gut microbiota dysbiosis, which is marked by an expansion of pathogenic bacteria and a pronounced depletion of beneficial taxa, including Bifidobacterium. While Bifidobacterium pseudolongum (B. pseudolongum) possesses known probiotic properties, its potential role in protecting against AP has yet to be determined. This study shows that B. pseudolongum alleviates pancreatic damage, inflammation, and apoptosis in mice with caerulein-induced and pancreatic duct ligation-induced AP by enhancing gut barrier function and microbiota diversity. Metabolomics identifies acetate as its key metabolite, and the ackA gene is essential for acetate biosynthesis. Acetate supplementation protects against AP. Mechanistically, acetate acts via GPR43 to inhibit macrophage M1 polarization, and macrophage depletion abrogates this protection. Clinically, the fecal B. pseudolongum abundance is reduced in AP patients and is correlated with disease severity. These findings reveal a microbiota-metabolite-immune axis in AP and highlight the potential of B. pseudolongum and acetate supplementation as novel therapeutic strategies for AP.
