Deciphering the Physiological Responses to the Intake of Plant-Based Meat Analogues: On the Track of Microbiota and Biomarkers in Serum and Urine.
Article in Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Growing concerns about the alleged negative outcomes of the consumption of animal-based foods (ABF) lead a number of consumers to demand so-called plant-based meat analogues (PBMAs), which are designed to replicate the sensory and nutritional characteristics of genuine meat. This study aimed to characterize the physiological effects of long-term PBMA consumption by comparing their specific influence on both gut microbiota and fluids (i.e., plasma and urine) with those of conventional beef in a rodent model by using metagenomic and metabolomic tools. Twenty-one Wistar rats were divided into groups and consumed diets made with either wheat- and soy-based meat analogues or beef. The microbiota of PBMA-fed animals showed increased amounts of the harmful genus of gut bacteria, while their metabolomes reflected disturbances in the nitrogen-containing compound metabolism and the presence of potentially harmful metabolites. These results should raise concern and prompt further research into the long-term impact of consumption of PBMAs on health.
