Characterization of the Gut Microbiota in Six Geographical Populations of Chinese Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta), Implying an Adaptation to High-Altitude Environment.

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
Knowledge about the impact of different geographical environments on rhesus macaque gut microbiota is limited. In this study, we compared the characteristics of gut microbiota in six different Chinese rhesus macaque populations, including Hainan, Nanning, Guizhou, Xichang, Jianchuan and Tibet. Through the composition analysis of operational taxonomic units (OTUs), we found that there were significant differences in the abundance of core overlapping OTUs in the six Chinese groups. Specifically, the Tibet population exhibited the highest gut microbial diversity and the most unique OTUs. Statistically significant differences in the composition of gut microbiota among the six groups at phylum and family level were evident. Specifically, Tibet had higher abundances of Firmicutes and lower abundances of Bacteroidetes than the other geographical groups, and the higher abundance of Firmicutes in the Tibetan group was mainly caused by a significant increase in the family Ruminococcaceae and Christensenellaceae. Phylogenetic investigation of communities by reconstruction of unobserved state analysis showed that the enrichment ratio for environmental information processing and organismal systems was the highest in the Tibet population. Additionally, our results suggested that in the adaptation process of rhesus macaques to different geographical environments, the abundance of the core common flora of the intestinal microbes had undergone varying degree of change and produced new and unique flora, both of which helped to reshape the gut microbiota of rhesus macaques. In particular, this change was more obvious for animals in the high-altitude environments.
