Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Intestinal Microbiota on Liver Disease Using Mendelian Randomization.
Review in JGH open : an open access journal of gastroenterology and hepatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background and Objective: The global incidence of liver diseases is on the rise, and targeting gut microbiota has become a new strategy for treating liver diseases. This study provides a comprehensive and objective analysis of the potential protective role of gut microbiota in liver disease, highlighting the need for continued research in this area. Methods: After literature screening, 24 related articles were included in the study. After article quality and risk of bias assessment, data extraction and data collation were carried out, and then comprehensive analysis was carried out using stata12.0 software. Results: From the perspective of microbial community, most of the microbial communities at the phylum level are risk factors; from the perspective of the top ten families, the intestinal microbial communities play an obvious harmful role in Primary Biliary Cholangitis.From the perspective of disease, the microbial communities at the genus level mostly have protective effects on Chronic Hepatitis B ,Fatty Liver;and Primary Liver Cancer. Conclusion: Gut microbiota plays a significant role in the occurrence of liver diseases, and different bacterial levels play different roles in the disease.
