Gut microbial culturomics identifies autism-associated
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 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
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been repeatedly linked to gut microbiota alterations, yet mechanistic insight remains limited by the scarcity of ASD-specific cultured isolates. Here, we performed large-scale gut microbial culturomics on fecal samples from 41 children with ASD and 12 typically developing (TD) controls, generating 1,724 isolates across six phyla. Longitudinal culturomics profiling was further conducted in 17 ASD children undergoing a 9-week fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) intervention. All isolates underwent 16S rRNA sequencing and non-redundant clustering to assess species-level diversity, ASD-TD differences, and microbial dynamics associated with clinical response. ASD children harbored a distinct culturable microbiota enriched for
