Analyzing human gut microbiome data from global populations: challenges and resources.
Review in Trends in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Research on the human gut microbiome is expanding rapidly; yet, most published studies focus on populations from high-income regions such as North America and Europe. Underrepresentation of populations from low- and middle-income countries in the microbiome literature limits the generalizability of microbiome-health associations. These challenges are compounded by computational barriers, including biases in reference databases, nonrepresentative metadata, and infrastructure limitations in low- and middle-income countries. However, recent efforts in large-scale global sampling have begun to address these problems. This review provides recommendations for future research efforts applying computational analysis to global microbiome data, including guidelines to initiate and maintain equitable partnerships, identify representative datasets, overcome technical limitations, and contextualize results at the global scale.
