Microbial diversity, antimicrobial resistance and zoonotic implications of the reptile gut microbiota: an updated review.
Review 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
The reptilian gastrointestinal tract harbors a complex and dynamic ecosystem of microorganisms that plays a fundamental and multifaceted role in host nutrition, immune function, and overall physiological homeostasis. This gut microbiome exhibited remarkable phylogenetic and functional diversity, intricately shaped by a confluence of host evolutionary history, dietary strategy, environmental context, captive status, and life history traits. Beyond its critical importance for reptilian health and fitness, this internal microbial reservoir is of significant and growing concern from a public health perspective, serving as a major source of zoonotic pathogens, most notably non-typhoidal Salmonella, and as a critical and underexplored hotspot for the emergence, amplification, and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), a dimension that forms the central theme of this review and is systematically examined across host ecology, captive management, and the global pet trade continuum. This comprehensive review synthesizes contemporary research on the gut microbiota across key reptilian taxa, including popular companion species such as lizards such as
