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

Host-microbe interactions play an integral role in the function and survival of eukaryotes, influencing various processes ranging from metabolism to immune regulation. As our understanding of these interactions deepens, there is a growing shift toward integrative approaches that consider both host and microbial genotypic potential. However, capturing the complexity and dynamic nature of these relationships remains a significant challenge. Genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) offer a powerful framework to investigate host-microbe interactions at a systems level. By simulating metabolic fluxes and cross-feeding relationships, GEMs enable the exploration of metabolic interdependencies and emergent community functions. These models can be applied independently or in conjunction with experimental data, supporting hypothesis generation and systems-level insights into host-microbe dynamics. In this review, we examine recent applications of GEMs to host-microbe studies, with a focus on how they reveal reciprocal metabolic influences. We also discuss the current technical challenges, highlight available tools and methodological strategies, such as model reconstruction, data integration, and simulation and analysis steps, and outline future directions for advancing host-microbe interaction study using GEMs.
