Interactions between bacterial microbiota and protozoan parasites: an intimate relationship.
Review in Archives of microbiology, 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
Interactions between parasites and the gut microbiota play a key role in immune responses and susceptibility to zoonotic diseases; however, many aspects of how protozoan infections alter microbial diversity and how these changes influence parasite pathogenicity and host defense remain poorly understood. This review integrates recenst studies using murine models of the Muroidea superfamily, highlighting patterns in microbial diversity, functional interactions, and potential immunometabolic mechanisms underlying these relationships. Both consistent findings and discrepancies among studies are identified, reflecting differences in parasite species, experimental models, and infection conditions. Unlike previous work, this review emphasizes the link between microbiota alterations, infection progression, and host responses. Finally, these findings are integrated to provide an interpretive framework that advances our understanding of how the microbiota modulates infection dynamics and identifies key knowledge gaps that warrant further investigation.
