Gut Microbiota Alteration with Moderate-to-Vigorous-Intensity Exercise in Middle School Female Football Athletes.
Article in Biology, 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
backgroundThe gut microbiota significantly influences health and metabolic processes. This study aimed to investigate the impact of exercise intensity on the gut microbiota of middle school female football athletes.
methodsIn this four-week controlled comparative study, twenty-nine participants were divided into three groups: non-exercise group (NEG), moderate-intensity exercise group (MIEG), and vigorous-intensity exercise group (VIEG). They followed their respective exercise regimens for four weeks. Fecal samples were collected for 16S rRNA gene sequencing to evaluate microbiota composition.
resultsThe MIEG exhibited significantly greater microbial diversity compared to the NEG, while the VIEG showed lower diversity than the MIEG. Various microbiota profiles were identified, with the MIEG having higher levels of beneficial bacteria such as Bacteroides.
conclusionsModerate-intensity exercise promotes a healthier gut microbiota compared to vigorous exercise in young female athletes. These findings underscore the potential of moderate exercise to enhance gut health and may inform training strategies for adolescent athletes.
