Microbiome-based therapeutics for ocular diseases.
Review in Clinical & experimental optometry, 2025. 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
The relationship between the gut microbiome and ocular health has garnered increasing attention within the scientific community. Recent research has focused on the gut-eye axis, examining whether imbalances within the gut microbiome can influence the development, progression and severity of ocular diseases, including dry eye disease, uveitis, and glaucoma. Dysbiosis within the gut microbiome is linked to immune dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and epithelial barrier dysfunction, all of which contribute to ocular pathology. This review synthesises current evidence on these associations, exploring how gut microbiome alterations drive disease mechanisms. Furthermore, it examines the therapeutic potential of microbiome-targeted interventions, including antibiotics, prebiotics, probiotics, and faecal microbiota transplantation, all of which aim to restore microbial balance and modulate immune responses. As the prevalence of these conditions continues to rise, a deeper understanding of the gut-eye axis may facilitate the development of novel, targeted therapies to address unmet needs in the management of ocular diseases.
