Gut microbiota profiles are associated with different spontaneous cortical activity in healthy older people.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
It has been shown that the gut and the brain are linked through a multimodal, bidirectional pathway called the gut-brain axis. In the gut-to-brain way, the gut microbiota has been shown to be the main regulator. In clinical practice, evidence of microbiota and brain interactions comes from the association of gut microbiota alterations with neurological and psychiatric conditions. However, until now, it remains unknown how the gut microbiota influences brain activity. In this paper, we show that different microbiota profiles from healthy older people are associated with different spontaneous activity in medial posterior cortical areas. These areas are associated with memory, language, and emotion processing abilities. Therefore, the results obtained provide evidence that non-pathological gut microbiota profiles are correlated to spontaneous cortical activity associated with cognitive functions that typically deteriorate with age. This implies that early nutritional interventions that modify microbiota composition could help delay or ameliorate natural age-related cognitive decline.
