Multi-Omics Approach to Evaluate Effects of Dietary Sodium Butyrate on Antioxidant Capacity, Immune Function and Intestinal Microbiota Composition in Adult Ragdoll Cats.
Article in Metabolites, 2025. 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
objectivesSodium butyrate (SB) is a typical postbiotic known to positively affect economic animals in recent years, but research on SB in pet cats is scarce. Consequently, this study sought to explore the influence of SB on anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capacity, immune function, and gut microbiota of adult cats through the assessment of biochemical parameters and comprehensive integrative omics analysis.
methodsA total of 30 adult cats were divided into three groups: a basal diet (NC), basal diet with 0.05% SB (SB5), and basal diet with 0.1% SB (SB10). The experiment lasted for 6 weeks.
resultsThe results indicated that the fecal level of calprotectin was lower in the SB10 group than in the SB5 and NC groups. The SB10 group reduced the serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and DAO compared with the NC group (
conclusionsDietary SB could enhance the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacity, improve immune function, and positively regulate the gut microbiota composition in adult cats.
