Impact of propionic acid-rich diets on microbial composition of the murine gut microbiome.
Article in Frontiers in microbiomes, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Propionic acid (PPA), an anti-fungal agent and common food additive, has been shown to induce atypical neurodevelopment in mice, accompanied by gastrointestinal dysfunction potentially resulting from gut dysbiosis. A putative association between dietary PPA exposure and gut dysbiosis is suggested but has not been explored directly. Here, we investigated PPA-associated alteration in gut microbial composition that may result in dysbiosis. Using long-read metagenomic sequencing, gut microbiomes of mice fed an untreated (n=9) or PPA-rich (n=13) diet were sequenced to assess differences in microbial composition and bacterial metabolic pathways. Dietary PPA was associated with an increased abundance of notable taxa, including several species of
