Microbiota-derived small molecule genotoxins: host interactions and ecological impact in the gut ecosystem.
Review in Gut microbes. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The human intestinal tract is densely colonized by a microbial community that is subject to intense competition. Bacteria in this complex habitat seek to outcompete their neighbors for nutrients and eliminate competitors with antibacterial toxins. Antagonism can be mediated by diverse effectors including toxic proteins and small molecule inhibitors that are released extracellularly or delivered by specialized secretion systems to targeted cells. Two prototypical microbiota-derived enterotoxins, colibactin and tilimycin, and the newly discovered family of indolimines represent an expanding group of non-proteinaceous small molecules which specifically target DNA. In addition to cell killing, they generate mutations and genome instability in intoxicated microbes and host cells alike. They have been studied in detail because of their direct toxicity to human cells and important etiological roles in intestinal pathologies. Increasing evidence, however, reveals that these commensal genotoxins are also mediators of interbacterial antagonism, which impacts gut microbial ecology. In this review, we illustrate the functional versatility of commensal genotoxins in the gut ecosystem.
