ReviewGut microbes
Dietary fiber for the prevention of childhood obesity: a focus on the involvement of the gut microbiota.
Review in Gut microbes. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Given the worldwide epidemic of overweight and obesity among children, evidence-based dietary recommendations are fundamentally important for obesity prevention. Although the significance of the human gut microbiome in shaping the physiological effects of diet and obesity has been widely recognized, nutritional therapeutics for the mitigation of pediatric obesity globally are only just starting to leverage advancements in the nutritional microbiology field. In this review, we extracted data from PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, CNKI, Cochrane Library and Wiley online library that focuses on the characterization of gut microbiota (including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea) in children with obesity. We further review host-microbe interactions as mechanisms mediating the physiological effects of dietary fibers and how fibers alter the gut microbiota in children with obesity. Contemporary nutritional recommendations for the prevention of pediatric obesity are also discussed from a gut microbiological perspective. Finally, we propose an experimental framework for integrating gut microbiota into nutritional interventions for children with obesity and provide recommendations for the design of future studies on precision nutrition for pediatric obesity.
