The Dietary Index for Gut Microbiota and Live Microbe Intake in Relation to Visceral Fat Obesity: Evidence From NHANES With Vitamin D as a Mediator.
Article in Food science & nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
While the gut microbiota plays a critical role in host metabolism, epidemiological evidence linking microbiota-targeted dietary patterns to visceral fat obesity (VFO) remains limited. Using data from 8080 adults aged 20-59 years participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2018, we examined the associations of the Dietary Index for Gut Microbiota (DI-GM) and dietary live microbe intake with visceral fat area (VFA) and VFO, and further explored the potential mediating role of serum vitamin D. Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were applied to assess associations with VFA and VFO, respectively, with restricted cubic spline analyses (RCS) used to evaluate potential non-linear relationships. Higher DI-GM quartiles were significantly associated with lower odds of VFO (Q4 vs. Q1, OR = 0.58; 95% CI: 0.43-0.79;
