Type of diet has no major influence on inflammatory response in a Saddleback pig model.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Fermentable carbohydrates and resulting short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) received attention via modifying potential on obesity-associated systemic low-grade inflammation. However, their effects on inflammation remain poorly understood. In this study, the anti-inflammatory properties of pectin or inulin supplementation were investigated in an atherogenic-fed pig obesity model. Pigs were divided into three atherogenic-fed groups with or without 5% pectin/inulin supplementation (AD, ADp, ADi, n = 10) and a conventional-fed group (CD, n = 10) for a 15-week feeding period. We demonstrated that faecal SCFA concentrations decreased and faecal pH increased in all groups over the feeding period (P < 0.05). SCFA concentrations were comparable between colon and faeces in all groups. Liver inflammatory-marker expressions were on average < 1 in all groups, except TNF-α (AD < CD and ADi; P < 0.01). Inflammatory-marker expressions in abdominal adipose tissue exceeded subcutaneous marker expressions in all groups. AD showed significantly lower IL-1β and CD68 mRNA levels than CD (P < 0.03). Comparing the atherogenic diet groups, the IL-1β mRNA levels were higher in ADi versus AD and ADp (P = 0.02). Our data indicated that fermentable carbohydrates added to an atherogenic diet cannot resolve low-grade adipose tissue inflammatory associated with obesity.
