Axillary and gut microbiota characteristics in axillary bromhidrosis patients and the effect of microwave therapy: a case-control study.
Article in Frontiers in 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
Introduction: Axillary bromhidrosis is characterized by excessive sweat gland activity and foul body odor, significantly affecting patients' psychological well-being and social interactions. Methods: This study recruited 30 axillary bromhidrosis patients and 30 healthy controls, collecting sweat and stool samples for microbiome analysis. Among the patients, 8 patients received microwave therapy, collecting pre- and post-treatment samples for microbiome analysis. Results: The axillary microbiota of patients showed significant differences compared to healthy controls, particularly with increased abundance of odor-causing bacteria such as Conclusion: This study is the first to demonstrate the interrelationship between the axillary and gut microbiota in axillary bromhidrosis patients, showing a link between gut-derived butyrate production and axillary odor. These findings offer new insights into the microbiological mechanisms underlying axillary bromhidrosis and identify potential microbial targets for future gut-based systemic treatments.
