longitudinal
17 of 17 people sampled more than once (34 samples; median 2, up to 2 per person) · follow-up median 28 d (max 35 d) · median interval between samples 28 d (time from collection dates). Schedule stated by the source: “stool samples collected during baseline diet (BD) and ketogenic diet (KD) in a crossover study over an 8-week inpatient study” (time origin: intervention start); stated follow-up 56 d.
Each row is one person (17 shown); dots are samples at days since that person's first sample.
