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, a complex physiological and molecular process, has undergone significant changes, of which gut microbiome composition has surfaced as an important key in the maintenance of neurological health. Recent studies have revealed the significant impact of age-related gut dysbiosis in the induction of neuroinflammation, metabolic syndrome, disruptions in gut-brain axis, and age-related neurological decline. Although significant studies have revealed the impact of the microbiome-gut-brain axis in individual neurological diseases, an aging-focused holistic synthesis has not yet been adequately developed. This review provides a critical assessment of the involvement of age-related dysbiosis of gut microbiota in the development and progression of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and cognitive aging of the elderly, and to focus on age-related microbial patterns and mechanisms of dysbiosis related to neurological aging, including inflammation and immune system dysregulation, metabolic changes, oxidative stress, barrier dysfunction, and gut-brain communication through enteroendocrine, enteric neural, and vagal mechanisms, and to emphasize disease-specific and common microbial patterns of dysbiosis and beneficial and harmful microbial roles in aging diseases. This review assesses some of the latest promising therapies aimed at the microbiota, such as probiotics, prebiotics, dietary therapies, fecal microbiota transplantation, as well as pharmacological therapies, and critically discusses their limitations in terms of interindividual variability and their generalisation and applicability. Focusing on mechanistic, comparative, and translation aspects, this review offers a comprehensive approach to neurological aging due to gut microbiota and identifies gaps for future precision microbiome-based interventions.
