The maternal gut-fetal brain axis: role of maternal microbial metabolome in early neurodevelopment.
Review in Frontiers in nutrition, 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
Fetal neurodevelopment is a critical phase modulated by the maternal microbiome. While certain specific signaling pathways have been identified, the complete signaling network and the spatial and temporal complexity remain largely unknown. Maternal metabolites are essential for fetal growth and certain metabolites are subject to dynamic adaptation during pregnancy. Alteration of maternal microbe richness and diversity, caused by malnutrition, psycho-social distress, and or infection, are cues known to impair fetal neural developmental circuits concomitant with increased risk of cognitive dysfunction later in life. This mini review focuses on the role of maternal microbial metabolites in shaping fetal neurodevelopment.
