Dietary supplementation with soluble corn fiber improved fecal score, microbiota, and SCFAs in dogs.
Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Soluble corn fiber, a safe dietary fiber with prebiotic properties, has been put to several applications in human daily life. However, studies on its use in pet food are scarce. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of SCF on microbial diversity, SCFAs and fecal quality in canines. Methods: Twenty adult dogs were divided into four groups, including the control group (CON) and three groups fed diet supplemented with 0.1% (SCF1), 0.5% (SCF2), or 1% (SCF3) SCF for 21 days. Results: Fecal scores of the group fed 1% SCF were the closest to the ideal state. Conclusion: Dietary supplementation with SCF improves the fecal condition, modulates microbiota composition, enhances the levels of acetic acid, valeric acid, and isobutyric acid, and decreases the level of butyric acid in dogs, with optimal effects observed for 1% supplementation.
