Cross-species fecal microbiota transplantation alters the carbohydrate metabolic phenotype: insights from Gansu zokor (Eospalax cansus).
Article in BMC veterinary research, 2026. 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
The Gansu zokor (Eospalax cansus), a subterranean rodent endemic to China, exhibits remarkable adaptability to hypoxic conditions. Although it is known that the gut microbiota of Gansu zokor undergoes changes under hypoxia, thereby influencing carbohydrate metabolism, it remains unclear whether such a hypoxia adaptation mechanism can be simulated in surface-dwelling animals. In this study, we established a cross-species fecal microbiota transplantation model from Gansu zokor to SD rats to investigate carbohydrate metabolic adaptations under hypoxia. Using 16 S rRNA sequencing, we characterized the features of gut microbiota. Furthermore, we examined molecular markers associated with glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle in the liver and brain of SD rats exposed to prolonged hypoxia. The results demonstrated that fecal microbiota transplantation altered the composition of gut microbiota in SD rats, leading to modifications in carbohydrate metabolic networks in the liver and brain under prolonged hypoxia. This shift rendered their carbohydrate metabolic patterns more similar to those observed in Gansu zokor. In conclusion, this study provides new evidence supporting the role of gut microbiota in hypoxia adaptation in subterranean rodent and offers a valuable animal model reference for the treatment of hypoxia-induced injuries via fecal microbiota transplantation.
