Adherence to Life's Essential 8 enhances gut microbiota diversity and cognitive performance.
Article in Frontiers in microbiomes, 2025. 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
Introduction: Emerging evidence suggests a complex interplay among cardiovascular health, gut microbiome composition, and cognitive function. Life's Essential 8 (LE8), developed by the American Heart Association, includes vital metrics of cardiovascular health, such as diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep health, body mass index (BMI), blood glucose, blood lipids, and blood pressure. Methods: In this study, we analyzed data from 781 participants in the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) to explore the relationship between LE8 adherence, gut microbiota, and cognitive performance. Multivariable linear regression models and mediation analysis were used to investigate this relationship. Results: Participants with greater adherence to LE8 demonstrated significantly increased gut microbial diversity (α-diversity: Chao1, p = 0.0014; Shannon, p = 0.0071) and distinct microbial compositions (β-diversity: PERMANOVA p = 1e-4). Higher adherence to LE8 was related to an increased abundance of genera Discussion: This study highlights the significance of comprehensive cardiovascular health metrics in shaping gut microbiota and enhancing cognitive resilience. Our findings underscore the therapeutic potential of targeting gut microbiota to mitigate cognitive decline, warranting further exploration through longitudinal and metagenomic studies.
