Temporal dynamics of gut biosynthetic gene clusters link persistent colonization and engraftment in fecal microbiota transplantation.
Article in Gut microbes, 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
The human gut microbiome carries a large array of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) that encode the production of secondary metabolites, yet their temporal dynamics and role during microbial colonization remain largely unexplored. Here, we tracked BGCs profile over time in a cohort of healthy adults, and identified two distinct groups: persistent, which are stable over time, and transient, which are more sporadic. Functional annotations indicated persistent gene clusters are enriched in antibiotic resistance mechanisms, while transient ones more frequently carry virulence-associated genes. We then examined colonization of these two groups in the context of fecal microbiome transplantation. Our results show that persistent gene clusters exhibit higher colonization rates than transient ones. These findings contribute to our understanding of how microbial metabolites influence host health, potentially guiding future therapeutic strategies targeting the microbiome.
