Whole microbiota transplantation restores gut homeostasis throughout the gastrointestinal tract.
Article in iMeta, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
This study introduces whole microbiota transplantation (WMT), a synergistic therapeutic approach that concurrently transplants small intestinal and fecal microbiota. In germ-free mice, WMT outperforms conventional fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in restoring gut microbiota diversity and abundance. Moreover, in a chemotherapy-induced intestinal mucositis model, WMT alleviates intestinal inflammation and reverses microbiota dysbiosis. Encapsulation in layer-by-layer self-assembled nanocapsules further boosts microbial survival and colonization, amplifying WMT's anti-inflammatory effects and microbiota restoration in a mouse model of pan-intestinal infection. Overall, WMT represents a precise strategy for reshaping microbial homeostasis across the entire gastrointestinal tract, with therapeutic promise for inflammatory bowel diseases and small-intestinal disorders.
