Effects of Konjaku Flour on the Gut Microbiota of Obese Patients.
Trial report in Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Objective: Gut microbiota have been thought to play a role in the emergence of obesity and metabolic disorders, thus dietary fiber may be an effective strategy for the management of obesity by modulating the gut microbiota. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of konjaku flour (KF) supplementation on treating obesity and regulating intestinal microbiota in obese adults. Methods: In a 5-week, randomized, double-blind, place-controlled trial, sixty-nine obese volunteers aged 25 to 35 with body mass index ≥28 kg/m Results: KF remarkably reduced the body mass index (BMI), fat mass, percentage body fat (PBF), serum triglyceride (TG), glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in the patients ( Conclusion: These results suggested that KF can achieve positive effects on treating obesity, which manifest on reducing BMI, fat mass, blood glucose, and blood lipid, improving hepatic function, and also regulating intestinal microfloral structure. Therefore, changes in gut microbiota may explain in part the effects of KF.
