TL;DR: A review of the use of the term "plant-based diet" in nutrition intervention studies is presented in this paper. But the focus of the review was to investigate how researchers use the term and what types of food a plant-based dietary intervention may include.

TL;DR: In this paper, a randomized controlled trial was conducted to examine whether an isocaloric vegan diet lowers dietary acid load (DAL) as compared to a meat-rich diet, which was determined using potential renal acid load and net endogenous acid production (NEAP) scores at baseline and after 3 and 4 weeks.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether a plant-based diet could reduce the burden of long-COVID and found that adoption of a plantbased diet leads to a reduced intake in pro-inflammatory mediators and could be one accessible strategy to tackle long COVID associated prolonged systemic inflammation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 4-week, monocentric, randomized, controlled trial with a parallel group design (vegan (VD) vs. meat-rich (MD)) with 53 healthy, omnivore, normal-weight participants (62% female, mean 31 years of age), fecal samples were collected at the beginning and at the end of the trial and were analyzed using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing (Clinical Trial register: DRKS00011963).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the CAM usage and CAM-related needs of hospitalized patients at university medical centres in the state of Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany.
