    FMT Effect of fecal microbiota transplantation on patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (Dec 2024) "no difference vs placebo except for constipation, depression, and anxiety symptoms"

    https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12916-024-03781-6 15 out of 213. Terrible pass rate. Low-quality donors. So lower-route only. My takeaway is that "constipation, depression, and anxiety" are easier to treat, at least via lower-route.

    FMT Preliminary results from a multicenter, randomized trial using fecal microbial transplantation to induce remission in patients with mild to moderate Crohn’s disease (Nov 2024, n=34) "FMT was not effective "

    FMT Microbiota Transplantation in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes and a High Degree of Insulin Resistance (Oct 2024, n=21) "neither FMT from healthy and lean donors nor a probiotic were effective"

    https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/16/20/3491 Another failed FMT trial. Ridiculous criteria. What a joke. Completely incompetent research system. Huge waste of time and money.

    FMT Fecal microbiota transplantation influences microbiota without connection to symptom relief in irritable bowel syndrome patients (Aug 2024, n=49)

    https://www.nature.com/articles/s41522-024-00549-x They essentially took a low-quality donor, measured that the donors microbes colonized the recipient, but didn't improve symptoms. This shouldn't be surprising. Hilarious. They're using El-Salhy's criteria to define super-donor. 0 results...
