Diet-associated variation in the midgut bacterial communities of

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
Introduction: Gut microbiota can influence insect physiology and ecological interactions, but how botanically distinct host plants affect gut bacterial communities in polyphagous insects remains poorly understood. Methods: We investigated the midgut bacterial communities of Results: Dietary treatments were associated with differences in gut bacterial community structure. The MS group exhibited higher bacterial richness and diversity, whereas the CA group showed a relatively simplified bacterial community. Bray-Curtis-based PCoA and PERMANOVA indicated significant overall variation in community composition among dietary treatments, although exact pairwise PERMANOVA tests were not significant. Bacillota and Pseudomonadota were dominant across treatments, while the MS group showed increased representation of Actinomycetota-associated taxa. LEfSe identified Actinomycetota-related taxa as characteristic features of the MS group and Bacillota-related taxa as features of the AD group. PICRUSt2 suggested differences in predicted functional potential among dietary treatments, including pathways related to amino acid metabolism, metabolism of cofactors and vitamins, and xenobiotics biodegradation and metabolism. Discussion: The results demonstrate diet-associated variation in the gut bacterial communities of
