Radix Isatidis polysaccharide-induced gut microbiota alleviates interstitial nephritis caused by infectious bronchitis virus via the gut-kidney axis.
Article in Poultry science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Interstitial nephritis caused by Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV) is a primary cause of mortality in chickens. To investigate whether gut microbiota mediate this effect, chickens were treated with antibiotics to deplete intestinal flora, which exacerbated IBV infection and abolished RIP's protective effect. It was found that fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) could reduce IBV copy numbers, decrease the production of metabolites, decrease the expression of NLRP3 pathway-related genes and proteins in the kidneys and intestines and increase the expression of tight intestinal junction proteins, and alleviate enteritis and interstitial nephritis. The 16S rRNA sequencing results indicated a significant increase in the abundance of harmful Escherichia_Shigella bacteria following IBV infection. However, in the RIP prevention group and FMT group, there was an increase in the abundance of probiotics such as Faecalibacterium, Lactobacillus, and Bifidobacterium. Furthermore, Lactobacillus reuteri, isolated from the feces of RIP-administered chickens and combined with sodium acetate (NaAc), alleviated interstitial nephritis and was associated with decreased expression of NLRP3 pathway-related molecules, reduced inflammatory factors, and enhanced intestinal tight junction proteins. This study not only confirms the vital role of gut microbiota in the treatment of IBV-induced nephritis but also opens avenues for the development of targeted probiotic therapies in viral infections and kidney diseases.
