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

backgroundThe human microbiota plays a key role in maintaining host homeostasis by regulating immune responses, metabolism, and hematopoiesis. Microbial dysbiosis has been increasingly associated with immune dysfunction, inflammation, and bone marrow abnormalities that may contribute to hematological diseases. This review summarizes current evidence on the role of the microbiota in normal hematopoiesis and its potential involvement in benign and malignant hematological disorders.

methodsA narrative literature review was conducted through comprehensive searches of major scientific databases without time restrictions using the keywords Microbiome, Dysbiosis, Hematopoiesis, Anemia, Immune Thrombocytopenia, Congenital Neutropenia, Thrombosis, Lymphoma, Leukemia, and Multiple Myeloma. Relevant experimental, clinical, and review articles were screened and synthesized.

resultsAvailable evidence suggests that the microbiota may influence hematopoietic stem cell function, immune cell development, and hematopoietic homeostasis. Microbial dysbiosis has been proposed to be associated with benign hematological disorders, including anemia, immune thrombocytopenia, congenital neutropenia, and thrombosis, as well as hematological malignancies such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Certain bacterial and viral infections may also influence disease progression and therapeutic responses. Microbiota-targeted interventions, including probiotics, prebiotics, dietary interventions, fecal microbiota transplantation, and other microbiome-based therapies, have shown potential as adjunctive therapeutic strategies.

conclusionsCurrent evidence suggests that microbiota dysbiosis may contribute to the pathogenesis of various hematological disorders. A better understanding of host-microbiota interactions may support the development of novel biomarkers and microbiota-based therapeutic approaches, although further clinical studies are required to confirm their efficacy and safety.
