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

Recent advances highlight the role of gut virome, particularly phageome, in metabolic disorders such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, stroke, coronary heart disease, and hyperlipidemia. While alterations in gut bacteria are well-documented, emerging evidence suggests that changes in gut viruses also contribute to these disorders. Bacteriophages, the most abundant gut viruses, influence bacterial populations through their lytic and lysogenic cycles, potentially modulating the gut ecosystem and metabolic pathways. Phage therapy, previously overshadowed by antibiotics, is experiencing renewed interest due to rising antibiotic resistance. It offers a novel approach to precisely edit the gut microbiota, with promising applications in metabolic diseases. In this review, we summarize recent discoveries about gut virome in metabolic disease patients, review preclinical and clinical studies of phage therapy on metabolic diseases as well as the breakthroughs and currently faced problems and concerns.
