Plant-based enteral nutrition outperforms ultra-processed formulas in mitigating consequences of antibiotic-induced dysbiosis.
Article in JCI insight, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Malnutrition, gut inflammation, and antibiotic-induced dysbiosis are well-recognized risk factors for poor clinical outcomes among critically ill patients. We previously showed that commercially available plant-based enteral nutrition (PBEN) preserves a commensal microbiome compared with commonly used artificial enteral nutrition (AEN). In this study, PBEN was superior to AEN in promoting recovery from antibiotic-induced dysbiosis in mice and humans. PBEN effectively mitigated anemia and leukopenia, restored naive lymphocyte populations, and reduced bone marrow myeloid expansion. Animals randomized to PBEN also exhibited improved responses to infectious gastrointestinal challenges following antibiotic exposure. A pilot clinical study validated these findings, demonstrating increased gut commensals, reduced pathogens, and improved leukocyte balance in critically ill children receiving PBEN compared with AEN. Together, these results suggest that PBEN offers a practical dietary approach to mitigate antibiotic-associated complications and potentially improve clinical outcomes among hospitalized patients requiring supplemental nutrition.
