Gut microbiota and metabolites in lipid metabolism and intramuscular fat deposition: mechanisms and implications for meat quality.
Review in Journal of animal science and biotechnology, 2025. 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
Intramuscular fat (IMF) content serves as the key determinants of meat quality. Emerging evidence indicates that gut microbiota and their metabolites significantly influence IMF deposition levels by modulating host lipid metabolism through multiple pathways, positioning microbial regulation as a pivotal target for meat quality improvement. However, existing studies remain fragmented, predominantly focusing on isolated mechanisms or correlations without a systematic view of the regulatory network. This review consolidates the core mechanisms through which microbiota-derived metabolites including short-chain fatty acids, bile acids, branched-chain amino acids, trimethylamine N-oxide, tryptophan derivatives, succinate, polyamines etc., regulate IMF deposition and proposes a targeted intervention framework, the "gut microbiota/metabolites-IMF axis". By integrating these insights, we provide a theoretical foundation and define practical research pathways to assess the potential of microbial-based strategies for improving meat quality in swine production.
