Single-cell quantification of the microbiota by flow cytometry: MicFLY.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The intestinal microbiota regulates multiple host functions, including digestion and immune development. Our knowledge of the microbiota has been shaped by available technology that primarily measures relative abundance. However, understanding the basis of shifts in microbiota composition requires single cell, absolute abundance measurements. In response to this problem, we developed Microbiota Flow Cytometry (MicFLY), a single cell technology that directly quantifies and characterizes total bacterial abundances with species-level resolution in the microbiota. Using MicFLY, we can identify all major intestinal taxa, discriminate live from dead bacteria, perform single cell measurements of heterogeneous bacterial mRNA expression and concurrently quantify Immunoglobulin (Ig) A and G binding to intestinal bacteria. Using longitudinal species-resolved, quantitative analysis of the preterm infant microbiota, we identify that
