The Role of the Gut Microbiome in Urinary Tract Infections: A Narrative Review.
Review in Nutrients, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectivesUrinary tract infections (UTIs) represent a substantial health concern worldwide. Although it is known that the gut can act as a reservoir for UTI-causing pathogens, the exact role of the gut microbiome in developing UTIs remains unclear. This review aims to investigate the link between the gut microbiome and UTIs and whether gut dysbiosis increases the risk of getting a UTI.
methodsTo find relevant studies, a search was conducted across three databases, PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library. Only records that directly described the association between the gut microbiome and UTIs were included in this review.
resultsOf the numerous studies retrieved, eight studies met the pre-set criteria and were selected for the review. The findings suggest several potential ways in which gut dysbiosis might enhance UTI susceptibility. A low gut microbiome diversity, a reduced level of bacteria involved in short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production and a high abundance of
conclusionsResearch on the link between the gut microbiome and UTIs is limited, and further studies need to be carried out to substantiate this relationship, as this can bring attention to finding improved and more relevant treatment for UTIs.
