Decoding the human phageome helps to unravel microbial dynamics in health and disease.
Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Bacteriophages are the most abundant biological entities on Earth-equally abundant within the human body. Their potential impacts on host function and homeostasis are becoming increasingly important in biomedical and microbiological research. Phage abundance and diversity often signal changes in the resident bacterial microbiome, but they can also regulate microbiome dysbiosis, help identify pathogenic bacterial candidates, and provide clues to understand the disease-related microbiome changes and the role of the phageomes in health and disease contexts. In a recent minireview, Rybicka and Kaźmierczak (Appl Environ Microbiol 91:e01788-24, 2025, https://doi.org/10.1128/aem.01788-24) synthesize the current understanding of phage communities across the human gut, oral cavity, skin, respiratory, and urogenital tracts, seeking connections with health and disease status.
