Retrospective insights into probiotic and prebiotic interventions: associations with gut microbiota profiles and nutritional outcomes.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2026. 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
Background: Probiotics and prebiotics are known to regulate the gut microbiota, however, their relations with the metabolic and nutritional outcomes in adults are under-investigated in practical environments. Objective: To provide light on microbiome-targeted metabolic health initiatives, this retrospective study investigates relationships among probiotic and prebiotic therapies, gut microbiota profiles, and nutritional outcomes. Methods: Clinical and nutritional history ( Results: Alpha diversity (Shannon index: probiotics 3.4-4.2, Conclusion: The use of probiotic and prebiotic supplementation was found to be related to an augmented gut microbial and better metabolic results in grown-ups. Such results point to possible advantages of the dietary microbiota modulation, but due to the retrospective design, it is not possible to make causal conclusions.
