Diet Quality and the Gut Microbiota in Women Living in Alabama.
Observational study in American journal of preventive medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionThe gut microbiota is associated with obesity and modulated by individual dietary components. However, the relationships between diet quality and the gut microbiota and their potential interactions with weight status in diverse populations are not well understood. This study examined the associations between overall diet quality, weight status, and the gut microbiota in a racially balanced sample of adult females.
methodsFemale participants (N=71) residing in Birmingham, Alabama provided demographics, anthropometrics, biospecimens, and dietary data in this observational study from March 2014 to August 2014, and data analysis was conducted from August 2017 to March 2019. Weight status was defined as a BMI (weight [kg]/height [m
resultsParticipants (43 Black, 28 White) aged 40.39±13.86 years who were non-obese (56%) and obese (44%) were studied. Greater alpha diversity was observed among those with higher Healthy Eating Index scores (p=0.037) but did not differ by weight status. Higher abundances of Bacteroidetes (p=0.006) and Firmicutes (p=0.042) were associated with a higher HEI score. Higher Bacteriodetes levels were observed among non-obese (p=0.006).
conclusionsDiet quality measured by the HEI was associated with alpha diversity of the gut microbiota among adult females. Abundances of phyla that have been linked with weight status (Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes) were positively associated with diet quality.
