Comparison of the effects of four commercially available prescription diet regimens on the fecal microbiome in healthy dogs.
Article in The Journal of veterinary medical science, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
The effects of prescription diets on canine intestinal microbiota are unknown. In this study, we used next generation sequencing to investigate the impact of four commercially available prescription diet regimens on the fecal microbiome in six healthy dogs. The diet regimens used were as follows: weight-loss diet, low-fat diet, renal diet, and anallergenic diet. We found a significantly decreased proportion of phylum Actinobacteria with the weight-loss diet compared to the anallergenic diet. There were no significant differences in the proportion of phylum Bacteroidetes between the four diets. The proportion of phylum Firmicutes was significantly decreased with the weight-loss diet compared to the anallergenic diet. The proportion of phylum Fusobacteria was significantly increased with the weight-loss diet compared to the anallergenic diet. There were no significant differences in the proportion of phylum Proteobacteria after consumption of the four diets. We therefore demonstrated that commercial prescription diet influences the fecal microbiome in healthy dogs. These results might be useful when choosing a prescription diet for targeting a disease.
