Feeding Frequency Modulates the Intestinal Transcriptome Without Affecting the Gut Microbiota in Pigs With the Same Daily Feed Intake.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 objective of this study was to elucidate the impacts of irregular eating patterns on gut microbiota and transcriptomic responses in a pig model with different feeding regimens. The experiment involved 24 growing pigs (Duroc × Landrace × Large White, 48 days of age) which were randomly allocated to one of three feeding patterns: one-meal (M1), three-meals (M3), or five-meals (M5) per day with the same daily feed intake. The results showed that different feeding frequencies had no significant effects on the microbial composition of ileal digesta, colonic digesta, colon mucosa, as well as the concentration of SCFAs in colonic digesta. Mucosa transcriptomic profiling data showed the pathways related to vitamin metabolism were enriched in the ileum and colon of pigs in the pairwise comparison between M3 and M1 groups. On the other hand, the pathways related to lipid metabolism were enriched in the ileum and colon of pigs in the pairwise comparison between M5 and M1 groups. Lastly, the pathways related to protein metabolism were enriched in the colon in the pairwise comparison between M3 and M1 groups, M5 and M1 groups, M5 and M3 groups, while the ileum was not enriched. Differentially expressed genes (DEG) related to metabolism showed that carbohydrate transport was suppressed in the ileum and enhanced in the colon in M5 and M3 groups compared with the M1 group. Compared with the M3 group, carbohydrate transport in the ileum was enhanced in the M5 group, while in the colon was inhibited. With the increase of feeding frequency, the catabolism, biosynthesis, and transport of lipid in the ileum were suppressed, while those in the colon were enhanced. Compared with the M1 group, amino acid transport in the ileum and colon in the M3 group was enhanced. Amino acid catabolism in the ileum in the M5 group was enhanced compared with M1 and M3 groups. In summary, different feeding frequencies affected the transport of carbohydrate, lipid, and amino acid in the ileum and colon, and affected the catabolism and biosynthesis of lipid in the ileum and colon with a low impact on intestinal microbiota.
