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

Emerging studies have revealed that disruptions in circadian crosstalk between the gut microbiota and the host play an essential role in the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders. Under physiological conditions, host circadian clocks regulate microbial diurnal oscillations through rhythmic behaviors, including feeding patterns and sleep-wake cycles. This temporal regulation manifests as robust 24-hour oscillations in microbial community composition, spatial organization, and metabolic activity. These rhythmic microbial signals and their metabolic outputs are subsequently translated into host immune modulation, establishing a bidirectional temporal dialogue between the host and microbiota. Modern lifestyle disruptions, including erratic eating patterns and shift work, desynchronize this temporal dialogue, leading to the loss of microbial rhythms, impaired intestinal barrier function, maladaptive immune responses, chronic inflammation, and systemic metabolic dysregulation. This review delineates the mechanisms through which host-microbiota circadian crosstalk governs immunometabolic homeostasis, provides a mechanistic framework for understanding immunometabolic diseases, and highlights therapeutic strategies that target microbial rhythms to reset host immunity and metabolism.
