Modern concepts of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.
Review in Current opinion in gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purpose of reviewSmall intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) has been a recognized condition for more than half a century. Early descriptions of SIBO were based on the concept of colonic bacteria "backing up" into the small intestine. This was based on techniques using unprotected aspiration catheters and earlier culture techniques. Recent advances in breath testing, small bowel sampling, culture techniques, and next generation sequencing have helped expand our understanding of SIBO. RECENT
findings"SIBO" is now understood to encompass at least three different types of overgrowth including SIBO, intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO) and intestinal sulfide overproduction (ISO). Each has their own unique microbial profile. In addition, next generation sequencing has revealed that SIBO is not a migration of colonic flora into the small intestine, but rather overgrowth of two predominant species/strains from phylum Proteobacteria ( Escherichia coli and Klebsiella ). Lastly, results from next generation sequencing of the stool and small intestinal microbiomes have validated breath testing as a diagnostic tool. SUMMARY: Together, these advances have allowed the identification of key microbes in overgrowth syndromes, uncovering their relationships to conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, and paving the way for the development of novel customized treatment options in the future.
