Gut phages and their interactions with bacterial and mammalian hosts.
Review in Journal of bacteriology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 mammalian gut microbiome is a dense and diverse community of microorganisms that reside in the distal gastrointestinal tract. In recent decades, the bacterial members of the gut microbiome have been the subject of intense research. Less well studied is the large community of bacteriophages that reside in the gut, which number in the billions of viral particles per gram of feces, and consist of considerable unknown viral "dark matter." This community of gut-residing bacteriophages, called the gut "phageome," plays a central role in the gut microbiome through predation and transformation of native gut bacteria, and through interactions with their mammalian hosts. In this review, we will summarize what is known about the composition and origins of the gut phageome, as well as its role in microbiome homeostasis and host health. Furthermore, we will outline the interactions of gut phages with their bacterial and mammalian hosts, and plot a course for the mechanistic study of these systems.
