Gut Microbiome Signatures in Treatment-Resistant Depression
Council consensus: Approve with minor revisions. The study presents strong evidence for a gut microbiome signature in TRD. Key revisions: (1) Temper causal language, (2) Add cross-validation details, (3) Include demographic diversity data. The biomarker panel should be validated in an independent cohort as a follow-up study.
Strengths
- Strong consensus on scientific merit
- Clear path to clinical translation
