Musculoskeletal Microbiology: The Microbiome in Orthopaedic Biomechanics.
Article in Current opinion in biomedical engineering, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06951477 (Gut Microbiome in Orthopaedics), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.

Abstract
Orthopaedic biomechanics and bioengineering is a founding discipline of biomedical engineering that focuses on the effects of mechanical stress and strain on musculoskeletal tissues during growth, function and repair. In the past decade the gut microbiome has emerged as a contributor to disease processes throughout the body, but only recently has been shown to influence orthopaedic biomechanics. Here I review emergent findings showing that the gut microbiome can regulate important aspects of the musculoskeletal system including growth and development; tissue failure and disease; and orthopaedic surgery. These early findings suggest that the microbiome may help answer questions in orthopaedic biomechanics that are not well addressed by current interventions, and highlights the promise of the emerging field of "Musculoskeletal Microbiology".
