The importance of the gut microbiome in the pathogenesis and transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
Article in Gut microbes. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Zhou et al. study nicely traces a significant topic in COVID-19 infection: the persistence of the virus within the intestinal tract. Many pathological mechanisms have been noted in the current literature about the mode of infection and propagation of SARS-CoV-2 in the human body. Nevertheless, there are still many concerns about this: only some things seem well understood. We present a different point of view by illustrating the importance of the gut microbiome in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 disorders.
