Gut microbiome - A potential mediator of pathogenesis in heart failure and its comorbidities: State-of-the-art review.
Review in Journal of molecular and cellular cardiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 53 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Gut microbiome (GMB) has been increasingly recognized as a contributor to development and progression of heart failure (HF), immune-mediated subtypes of cardiomyopathy (myocarditis and anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity), response to certain cardiovascular drugs, and HF-related comorbidities, such as chronic kidney disease, cardiorenal syndrome, insulin resistance, malnutrition, and cardiac cachexia. Gut microbiome is also responsible for the "gut hypothesis" of HF, which explains the adverse effects of gut barrier dysfunction and translocation of GMB on the progression of HF. Furthermore, accumulating evidence has suggested that gut microbial metabolites, including short chain fatty acids, trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), amino acid metabolites, and bile acids, are mechanistically linked to pathogenesis of HF, and could, therefore, serve as potential therapeutic targets for HF. Even though there are a variety of proposed therapeutic approaches, such as dietary modifications, prebiotics, probiotics, TMAO synthesis inhibitors, and fecal microbial transplant, targeting GMB in HF is still in its infancy and, indeed, requires further preclinical and clinical evidence. In this review, we aim to highlight the role gut microbiome plays in HF pathophysiology and its potential as a novel therapeutic target in HF.
