Gut microbiota on cardiovascular diseases-a mini review on current evidence.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The gut microbiome has emerged as a critical modulator of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, offering a novel frontier for therapeutic intervention. This mini-review synthesizes current evidence on how probiotic-like bacteria and their metabolites mediate protective physiological mechanisms against CVD. Drawing from both animal models and human clinical trials, we elucidate the biological pathways, including trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and bile acid metabolism, through which the gut microbiota influences hypertension, atherosclerosis, and heart failure. Furthermore, we examine microbiota-based strategies such as dietary modification, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), and pharmacological agents aimed at restoring microbial homeostasis. Despite promising mechanistic insights, human trials have yet to consistently demonstrate significant clinical benefits in reversing CVD outcomes via gut microbiota modulation. This review underscores the necessity of moving from correlation to causation, highlighting current limitations and future prospects for leveraging gut microbiome research in the development of personalized, effective therapeutic strategies for cardiovascular diseases.
