Microbiome Research in Greece: A Comprehensive Bibliometric Study.
Article in Microorganisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Bibliometric analyses are increasingly used to evaluate scientific domains, revealing research trends, productivity, and impact. This study provides a bibliometric analysis of microbiome-related research conducted by Greek scientists. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database, using the keyword "microbiome" (English) for publications until December 2024. Bibliometric analysis was performed using VOSviewer and the bibliometrix package in R. Our findings indicate that research output has increased exponentially since 2018, with the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki leading microbiome research in Greece. Medicine, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, immunology, and microbiology are the predominant research fields. The keyword analysis highlights "microbiome", "microbiota", "probiotics", "prebiotics", "intestinal flora", and "16S rRNA" as central topics. Additionally, we acknowledge the role played by alternative microbial markers, including 18S rRNA/ITS sequencing, for fungal diversity studies. This bibliometric study demonstrates a dynamic and evolving research landscape in Greece and highlights the international relevance of Greek contributions to microbiome science.
