Factors influencing gut microbial colonization: A host-microbe-environment interaction perspective.
Review in Current research in food science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Gut microbial colonization is a dynamic balance shaped by host genetics and immunity, microbial ecology, and environmental exposures. This review synthesizes evidence on host barriers and immunity-mucus architecture, antimicrobial peptides, pattern recognition receptors, and secretory IgA-and on genetic loci such as LCT and ABO/FUT2 that modulate nutrient landscapes and strain selection. Microbial adaptability is summarized, including polysaccharide utilization loci and human milk oligosaccharide metabolism, bile salt hydrolase-mediated tolerance, extracellular polysaccharide-driven immune modulation, oxygen-gradient-linked metabolic partitioning, and adhesion mechanisms that secure niche occupancy. Environmental perturbations are evaluated, spanning dietary patterns, protein sources, polyphenols, food additives, pharmaceuticals, and lifestyle factors such as physical activity, circadian alignment, and smoking, which reshape resource competition, barrier integrity, and community resilience. Interaction frameworks that govern stability and dysbiosis are delineated, including competitive inhibition, cross-feeding, quorum sensing, cross-kingdom crosstalk among bacteria, fungi, and phages, and horizontal gene transfer that accelerates adaptation and resistance. Niche elasticity is proposed as a systems metric to quantify stability and recovery after perturbation. Translational strategies combine engineered probiotics, anti-adhesion approaches, and rationally designed phages and lysins with in situ multi-omics to enable mechanism-guided, personalized interventions for food science and microbial engineering.
