The honeybee gut microbiome: a novel multidimensional model of antimicrobial resistance transmission and immune homeostasis from environmental interactions to health regulation.
Review in FEMS microbiology reviews, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 honeybee gut microbiome has emerged as a model system in microbial ecology, valued for its structural stability and host specificity, and has garnered significant attention for elucidating universal principles of host-microbe interactions. This review advocates for the honeybee as a multidisciplinary model organism, highlighting the unique role of its gut microbiota in maintaining colony immune homeostasis, driving host co-evolution, unraveling the transmission mechanisms of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and enhancing host adaptability to environmental stressors. By integrating multidimensional factors, including environmental gradients and apicultural practices, we construct an "Environment-Microbiota-Host Health" interaction framework to transcend the limitations of single-factor analyses. This framework provides a novel paradigm for the ecological containment of antimicrobial resistance, the conservation of pollinator resources, and microbiome-based engineering interventions. The review underscores the unique value of the honeybee model in unraveling social insect-microbe coevolution and resistance transmission dynamics, while also prospecting its application potential in developing novel antimicrobial peptides, designing probiotic formulations, and monitoring environmental resistance.
