Review in Gut pathogens, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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

Aging is a complex process marked by the gradual accumulation of impairments in molecules and tissues, leading to frailty and dysfunction. This decline is a significant risk factor for many debilitating conditions. Recently, gut microbiota dysbiosis has been identified as one of the hallmarks of aging. This review sheds light on the role of gut microbiota dysbiosis in accelerating aging and its relation to age-associated diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes. Emerging research demonstrates a strong link between the gut microbiome and the aging process, although the underlying mechanisms remain under investigation. Animal studies suggest that targeting the gut microbiome may offer a promising approach to mitigate aging and related diseases. However, further human studies are needed to confirm these findings.
