Can bacteria control the human brain?
Review in Communicative & integrative biology, 2026. 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
Nervous and neurodegenerative diseases are considered one of the most common groups among humanity, and the number of these diseases in the population is constantly increasing. At the same time, the prevalence of gastrointestinal and digestive system pathologies is also steadily growing. The literature contains numerous data on the relationship between the nervous system and the digestive system through a bidirectional microbiota-gut-brain axis, as well as connections via the circulatory and immune systems, among others. This work attempts to compile existing literature on this topic, summarize it, identify common patterns, and assess how strongly the gut can influence the course of various CNS disorders. It also aims to identify specific strains that may impact certain disorders and pathologies. Additionally, an effort was made to understand the mechanisms by which the microbiota affects the brain.
