Profile of intestinal fungal microbiota in acute pancreatitis patients and healthy individuals.
Article in Gut pathogens, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe gut is involved in the development of acute pancreatitis (AP). Increased focus is being given to the role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of AP. Nevertheless, there is currently no available evidence regarding the composition of fungal microorganisms in the intestines of patients with AP.
methodsIn this study, we sequenced ITS rRNA gene amplicons and examined the intestinal fungal microbiota in feces from 11 AP patients (the test group) and 15 healthy people (the control group). Additionally, we examined the relationship between fungus and clinical and biochemical markers.
resultsResults showed a decline in alpha diversity in AP patients. The overall fungal microbiota in the test group was significantly different from that of the control group (P < 0.05). In both groups, the fecal fungal microbiota was dominated by Ascomycota and Basidiomycota phyla. At the genus level, the abundance of Candida was significantly higher in the test group and the abundances of Penicillium, Auricularia, unclassified Eurotiomycetes, Epicoccum and Vishniacozyma were significantly lower. Furthermore, AP patients had a significant decrease in the GMHI score and a significant increase in the MDI index. The co-abundance networks of gut fungus in AP patients showed more interactions and mostly positive correlations than in the control group. There was a strong positive link between Aspergillus and WBC counts, while There was a strong link between unclassified Rozellomycota and IL-6.
conclusionOur study provides the first empirical evidence that AP patients have different fecal fungal microbiota, which raises the possibility that mycobiota contribute to the etiology and progression of AP.
