Gut microbiome‐targeted therapies as adjuvant treatments in inflammatory bowel diseases: a systematic review and network meta‐analysis
Abstract
Gut microbiome‐targeted therapies (MTTs), including prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), have been widely used in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), but the best MTTs has not yet been confirmed. We performed a network meta‐analysis (NMA) to examine this in ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD).
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a systematic review. Its evidence level is 1 of 5 (Highest · pooled evidence). Pooled evidence from several studies sits at the top of the evidence pyramid.
