Mass spectrometry-based metabolomics for studying gut microbiota-derived metabolites in biological samples.
Review in Journal of food and drug analysis, 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
Gut microbiota produces a wide range of metabolites and plays a critical role in maintaining host health. Dysregulation of these metabolites can influence host metabolism through systemic circulation, contributing to the development of various diseases, including immunological, neurological and cancer-related disorders. Chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a powerful analytical approach, offering high sensitivity and resolution for studying gut microbiota-related metabolites. This review provides a comprehensive overview of chromatographic MS-based methods applied to the study of the gut microbial metabolome. We summarize strategies for sample collection, storage, and preparation of commonly analyzed sample types, including feces, plasma/serum, urine, and tissue samples. In addition, we included the main chromatographic MS-based approaches, as well as data analysis techniques, for investigating the gut microbial metabolome. The characteristics and utility of liquid chromatographicmass spectrometry (LC-MS), gas chromatographic-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) were discussed in the context of providing broader coverage of gut microbiota-derived metabolites with diverse physicochemical properties. Finally, we summarize recent studies that have employed chromatographic MS-based approaches to investigate gut microbiota-related disease. Through the integration of appropriate sample handling and advanced analytical strategies, a deeper understanding of host-microbiota interactions and their roles in health and disease can be achieved.
