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

The human microbiome, consisting of microorganisms that coexist symbiotically with the body, impacts health from birth. Alterations in gut microbiota driven by factors such as diet and medication can contribute to diseases beyond the gut. Synthetic biology has paved the way for engineered microbial therapeutics, presenting promising treatments for a variety of conditions. Using genetically encoded biosensors and dynamic regulatory tools, engineered microbes can produce and deliver therapeutic agents, detect biomarkers, and manage diseases. This review organizes engineered microbial therapeutics by disease type, emphasizing innovative strategies and recent advancements. The scope of diseases includes gastrointestinal disorders, cancers, metabolic diseases, infections, and other ailments. Synthetic biology facilitates precise targeting and regulation, improving the efficacy and safety of these therapies. With promising results in animal models, engineered microbial therapeutics provide a novel alternative to traditional treatments, heralding a transformative era in diagnostics and treatment for numerous diseases.
