From stool to sequence: decoding the human diet with FoodSeq.
Article in mSystems, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Diet plays a pivotal role in human health and disease. Yet, nutrition studies have long relied on self-report methods for collecting dietary intake data despite known limitations. Although new technologies for dietary intake assessment and biomarker identification are in development, the integration of genomics has been limited. DNA metabarcoding, a method that identifies many taxa at once using a short region of DNA, has recently been adapted for use in stool samples from free-living humans. This process, called FoodSeq, provides an objective way to determine the foods people eat. FoodSeq has numerous advantages over self-report methods, is a necessary complement to other methodological innovations in dietary intake assessment, and holds considerable promise for application on an epidemiologic scale, enabling more robust analysis of global dietary patterns.
