Faecal microbiota transplantation as a potential metabolic intervention — a systematic review and meta-analysis examining randomized trial evidence and methods.
Key Takeaways
- Randomized trials of fecal microbiota transplantation in metabolic disorders remain few and generally small, increasing uncertainty in estimates.
- Previous meta-analyses reported inconsistent effects on HOMA-IR, fasting glucose, insulin, and HbA1c across studies.
- This review used conservative random-effects methods and prespecified sensitivity analyses to quantify available randomized evidence and heterogeneity.
