Host contributes to longitudinal diversity of fecal microbiota in swine selected for lean growth.
Article in Microbiome, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 82 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
backgroundIn pigs, gut bacteria have been shown to play important roles in nutritional, physiological, and immunological processes in the host. However, the contribution of their metagenomes or part of them, which are normally reflected by fragments of 16S rRNA-encoding genes, has yet to be fully investigated.
resultsFecal samples, collected from a population of crossbred pigs at three time points, including weaning, week 15 post weaning (hereafter "week 15"), and end-of-feeding test (hereafter "off-test"), were used to evaluate changes in the composition of the fecal microbiome of each animal over time. This study used 1205, 1295, and 1283 samples collected at weaning, week 15, and off-test, respectively. There were 1039 animals that had samples collected at all three time points and also had phenotypic records on back fat thickness (BF) and average daily body weight gain (ADG). Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes were the most abundant phyla at all three time points. The most abundant genera at all three time points included Clostridium, Escherichia, Bacteroides, Prevotella, Ruminococcus, Fusobacterium, Campylobacter, Eubacterium, and Lactobacillus. Two enterotypes were identified at each time point. However, only enterotypes at week 15 and off-test were significantly associated with BF. We report herein two novel findings: (i) alpha diversity and operational taxonomic unit (OTU) richness were moderately heritable at week 15, h
conclusionsThese results are important for efforts to genetically improve the domesticated pig because they suggest fecal microbiota diversity can be used as an indicator trait to improve traits that are expensive to measure.
