Effects of liquid diet administration routes and types of dietary fiber pectin on fecal characteristics and gut microbiota in rats.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2026. 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
Introduction: Enteral nutrition is essential for the nutritional management of patients with feeding or swallowing difficulties; however, the effects of different administration routes and dietary fiber types on the gut environment are insufficiently understood. This study aimed to compare the effects of enteral feeding route and pectin type on physiological parameters, fecal characteristics, and gut microbiota composition. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (total Results: Compared with the gastrostomy group, the duodenostomy group increased cecal content weight, reduced gut microbiota Conclusion: These findings suggest that the route of liquid diet administration in this short-term rat model is associated with differences in intestinal environment, and that these associations vary according to dietary fiber type. Dietary fiber type was also associated with the maintenance of the gut environment and stool characteristics, providing experimental evidence that may contribute to future translational research.
