1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The gut microbiota is a highly dynamic and complex ecosystem. However, the processes by which its members respond to dietary fibers remain incompletely understood. Here, we performed daily sampling over a 14-day observational period under the habitual diet, followed by a 14-day dietary fiber intervention in overweight participants with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. By combining daily sampling, guild-level approach, and time-series analysis, we revealed diverse temporal response patterns among various microbiota members that are often missed by conventional sampling. These patterns were closely linked to their genetic capacities for carbohydrate utilization and transport. Moreover, time-delayed analysis of longitudinal multi-omics data identified specific metabolites that potentially mediate the beneficial effects of gut microbiota on host metabolism. Overall, our findings demonstrate the necessity of high-frequency sampling for capturing dynamic microbial responses and offer reliable targets for mechanistic investigations.
