Association of dietary live microbes and nondietary prebiotic/probiotic intake with metabolic syndrome in US adults: evidence from NHANES.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundMetabolic syndrome (MetS) presents substantial health risks, and the supplementation of probiotics and prebiotics is regarded as a promising management approach. This study aims to explore the relationship between dietary intake of live microbes and non-dietary prebiotic/probiotic intake and MetS among US adults.
methodsData from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2016 was used in this study. MetS is defined according to the criteria set by the National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III-2005. Dietary intake information and probiotic/prebiotic intake data were collected through self-reported questionnaires. Multiple logistic models were applied to explore the relationships between dietary live microbes, and probiotic or prebiotic intake with MetS.
resultsA significantly lower prevalence of MetS was observed in individuals with a high intake of dietary live microbes compared to those with a low intake (OR: 0.79, 95% CI: 0.69-0.91). This association was particularly strong among participants with higher economic status and advanced educational attainment (interaction P < 0.05). Similarly, individuals with non-dietary probiotics intake displayed a similar trend (OR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.54-0.92). Conversely, there was no significant association found between non-dietary prebiotic intake and MetS.
conclusionsDietary live microbes intake and non-dietary probiotic intake were negatively associated with the prevalence of MetS and its components. The study offers novel evidence supporting the effective management of MetS.
