Review in International journal of general medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Sepsis is a global health challenge, affecting millions annually and remaining a leading cause of mortality in intensive care units. Gut microbiota plays a complex role in the onset and progression of sepsis, with its alterations reflecting disease severity. Recently, modulating gut microbiota and its metabolites has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for sepsis. This review highlights the role of gut microbiota in sepsis and systematically identifies key immune response targets directly influenced by gut microbiota metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), bile acids, and indoleacetic acid, among other important metabolites. Additionally, it offers a full overview of current research on gut microbiota-regulated therapeutic approaches, including fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications. These insights offer a novel perspective for advancing the understanding of sepsis pathogenesis and its treatment.
