Exploring human milk oligosaccharides: mechanisms linking gut function to cognitive development in human and pig physiology.
Review in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are emerging as key modulators of host physiology, with growing evidence supporting their role in shaping gut microbial communities and influencing neurocognitive outcomes. This review critically examines the impact of HMOs on gut health and behavioral responses, focusing on the complex relationship between HMOs and host physiology in both human and pigs. Given their anatomical, physiological, and microbiome similarities to humans, pigs serve as a valuable translational model for investigating the functional roles of HMOs. We summarize experimental methodologies employed in HMO research and highlight findings that demonstrate HMO-induced alterations in microbial diversity, gut integrity, and cognitive performance. Potential mechanisms of action, including gut-brain axis signaling, immune modulation, and microbial metabolite production, are explored. This review concludes by identifying current knowledge gaps and proposing future research directions aimed at elucidating HMO structure-function relationships, with implications for advancing both human nutrition and animal health.
