Host-microbiome interactions in leukemia: mechanisms, treatment response, and clinical implications.
Review in Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology, 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
Host-microbiome interactions regulate immune function, epithelial barrier integrity, and hematopoietic homeostasis. Intestinal microbial communities show consistent disruption in leukemia, particularly during intensive chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Reduced microbial diversity, depletion of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing commensals, and expansion of opportunistic taxa are recurrent findings across cohorts. Such patterns correlate with inflammatory signaling, impaired barrier function, and shifts in immune responses affecting treatment tolerance and hematopoietic recovery. Clinical associations show greater consistency for treatment-related outcomes, including infection risk, mucosal injury, and delayed immune reconstitution, than for leukemogenesis. Evidence supporting a direct causal role of specific microbial taxa in disease initiation remains limited. This review examines microbiome composition, microbial taxa, and mechanistic pathways in leukemia, with emphasis on how microbiome alterations may influence leukemia biology, disease progression, treatment response, and clinical outcomes, while acknowledging that most human evidence remains associative.
