Dysbiosis and genomic plasticity in the oily scalp microbiome: a multi-omics analysis of dandruff pathogenesis.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: Dandruff, affecting ~50% of the global population, is a prevalent scalp condition linked to microbial dysbiosis and inflammation, significantly impacting quality of life. Methods: This study employed an integrative omics approach, utilizing 16S rRNA and ITS1 amplicon sequencing alongside shotgun metagenomics, to analyze the scalp microbiome of 65 individuals with varying scalp conditions (healthy oily, healthy non-oily, and dandruff oily). Results: Distinct microbial profiles were identified, with an increased abundance of pathogenic genera such as Staphylococcus in the dandruff oily (DO) group, contrasted with the presence of Cutibacterium in healthy cohorts. Discussion: Functional profiling revealed elevated DNA repair mechanisms in the DO group, indicative of stress stemming from pathogen overgrowth, while healthy non-oily samples demonstrated enhanced functions for scalp homeostasis. Notably, the increase in genomic plasticity in the DO group, characterized by antimicrobial resistance genes and mobile elements, underscores the complex interplay of microbial dynamics in dandruff pathology, advocating for microbiome-targeted therapies.
