1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Microbial dysbiosis is associated with the onset and progression of disease and may influence host organ function through alterations in microbial metabolites, epithelial integrity, and immune signaling The gut communicates with distant organs through interconnected gut-lung, gut-brain, and gut-liver axes that contribute to physiological homeostasis. In the gut, short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing microbes enhance mucin synthesis, epithelial barrier integrity, and immune regulation, while reduced intestinal pH may limit pathogen colonisation. In this review, we provide an integrated synthesis of evidence across the gut-lung, gut-brain, and gut-liver axes, focusing on how gut microbial dysbiosis and microbiota-derived metabolites influence host immune regulation and distant-organ function. Within the gut-brain axis, microbial metabolites, including SCFAs, can influence enteroendocrine signaling and vagal communication, thereby contributing to metabolic, emotional, and cognitive processes. Within the gut-liver axis, microbial alterations and metabolites are associated with hepatic metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, and lipid metabolic changes, with experimental evidence suggesting potential protective effects of
