Preliminary study of biliary microbiota and identification of bacterial species associated with pigmented gallstone formation.
Article in Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Background: Pigmented gallstone disease (PGS) is prevalent in China. Biliary microbiota is certified to be related to the PGS formation. Methods: We performed 16S sequencing on both bile and gallstone samples in 16 patients with gallstone disease. We analyzed the microbial composition of the biliary tract and identified crucial bacteria related to the formation of PGS. Results: Biliary tract bacterial composition analysis showed heterogeneity of dominated genus among individuals and correlation in bacterial composition between bile and gallstones. We screened 10 prevalent genera with significant abundance in the bile and gallstones. Conclusion:
