Effect of dietary fibre on the gastrointestinal microbiota during critical illness: A scoping review.
Review in World journal of critical care medicine, 2025. 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
The systemic effects of gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota in health and during chronic diseases is increasingly recognised. Dietary strategies to modulate the GI microbiota during chronic diseases have demonstrated promise. While changes in dietary intake can rapidly change the GI microbiota, the impact of dietary changes during acute critical illness on the microbiota remain uncertain. Dietary fibre is metabolised by carbohydrate-active enzymes and, in health, can alter GI microbiota. The aim of this scoping review was to describe the effects of dietary fibre supplementation in health and disease states, specifically during critical illness. Randomised controlled trials and prospective cohort studies that include adults (> 18 years age) and reported changes to GI microbiota as one of the study outcomes using non-culture methods, were identified. Studies show dietary fibres have an impact on faecal microbiota in health and disease. The fibre, inulin, has a marked and specific effect on increasing the abundance of faecal Bifidobacteria.
