Methods for Studying Gut Microbiota: A Primer for Physicians.
Review in Journal of clinical and experimental hepatology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Human gastrointestinal tract contains a large variety of microbes, in particular bacteria. Studies in recent years have strongly suggested a role for these microbes, collectively referred to as gut microbiota, in the maintenance of homeostasis during health. In addition, alterations in gut microbiota have been reported in several diseases, including those related to the gastrointestinal tract and several systemic conditions, and are believed to play a pathogenetic role in at least some of these. Given the close association between the human gut and liver, the association with gut microbiota appears to be particularly strong for a wide variety of liver diseases. This piece, aimed primarily at physicians, reviews in brief the methods used to study gut microbiota, with particular emphasis on those that use sequences of bacterial 16S rRNA gene or its components.
