Preliminary investigation on the association of dietary total antioxidant capacity, alternative healthy eating index, and dietary inflammatory index with intestinal microbiota in patients with diabetic nephropathy.

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
backgroundDiabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most abundant microangiopathy complications among diabetic patients. Gut dysbiosis and the correlation with dietary factors in diabetic participants is undeniable. This study aims to evaluate the alteration of intestinal microbiota and its association with dietary indices, including dietary total antioxidant capacity (dTAC), dietary inflammatory index (DII), and alternative healthy eating index (AHEI) scores among healthy controls (HC) and diabetic participants with and without DN.
methodsThe participants were categorized into type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) group, DN group, and HC group. The intestinal microbiota was assessed using a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method targeting the bacterial 16 S rRNA gene. Dietary data were obtained using a 168-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ).
resultsA higher level of Escherichia, Prevotella, Facalibacterium, and Bacteroides was observed among the HC group than the T2DM and DN individuals. Higher AHEI was observed in the DN group than T2DM group. Lower DII was seen among the T2DM group compared to the HC and DN groups. dTAC index had no significant differences between the studied groups. Furthermore, in the HC group, dTAC showed a marginally significant positive correlation with Bacteroides. dTAC was negatively correlated with Lactobacillus in T2DM subjects. In the whole studied population, a marginally significant positive correlation between Prevotella and dTAC and DII was observed.
conclusionsAlterations in the intestinal microbiota were observed in participants suffering from T2DM and DN. Furthermore, some intestinal microbiota were associated with AHEI, DII, and dTAC dietary indices.
