Microencapsulated Propionate and Butyrate Improved Energy Balance and Gut Microbiota Composition in Diet-Induced Obese Rats.
Article in Nutrients, 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
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), particularly propionate and butyrate, reduce food intake, body weight, and modulate gut microbiota composition. However, it is unclear whether encapsulation of propionate and butyrate enhances their delivery to distal gut to improve energy balance and gut microbiota composition in obesity.
