Metatranscriptomics for Understanding the Microbiome in Food and Nutrition Science.
Review in Metabolites, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Microbiome science has greatly expanded our understanding of the diverse composition and function of gut microorganisms over the past decades. With its rich microbial composition, the microbiome hosts numerous functionalities essential for metabolizing food ingredients and nutrients, resulting in the production of active metabolites that affect food fermentation or gut health. Most of these processes are mediated by microbial enzymes such as carbohydrate-active enzymes and amino acid metabolism enzymes. Metatranscriptomics enables the capture of active transcripts within the microbiome, providing invaluable functional insights into metabolic activities. Given the inter-kingdom complexity of the microbiome, metatranscriptomics could further elucidate the activities of fungi, archaea, and bacteriophages in the microbial ecosystem. Despite its potential, the application of metatranscriptomics in food and nutrition sciences remains limited but is growing. This review highlights the latest advances in food science (e.g., flavour formation and food enzymology) and nutrition science (e.g., dietary fibres, proteins, minerals, and probiotics), emphasizing the integration of metatranscriptomics with other technologies to address key research questions. Ultimately, metatranscriptomics represents a powerful tool for uncovering the microbiome activity, particularly in relation to active metabolic processes.
