Dietary protein and the intestinal microbiota: An understudied relationship.
Review in iScience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 61 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Diet has a profound impact on the microbial community in the gastrointestinal tract, the intestinal microbiota, to the benefit or detriment of human health. To understand the influence of diet on the intestinal microbiota, research has focused on individual macronutrients. Some macronutrients (e.g. fiber) have been studied in great detail and have been found to strongly influence the intestinal microbiota. The relationship between dietary protein, a vital macronutrient, and the intestinal microbiota has gone largely unexplored. Emerging evidence suggests that dietary protein strongly impacts intestinal microbiota composition and function and that protein-microbiota interactions can have critical impacts on host health. In this review, we focus on recent studies investigating the impact of dietary protein quantity and source on the intestinal microbiota and resulting host health consequences. We highlight major open questions critical to understanding health outcomes mediated by interactions between dietary protein and the microbiota.
