1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Gut microbiota contributes positively to the physiology of their host. Some feed additives have been suggested to improve livestock health and stimulate growth performance by modulating gut bacteria species. Here, we fed grass carp with 0 (control), 8% (Treat1), 10% (Treat2), 12% (Treat3) and 16% (Treat4) of yeast culture (YC) for 10 weeks. The gut microbiota was analysed by 16S rRNA gene V3-4 region via an Illumina MiSeq platform. PCoA test showed that gut bacterial communities in the control and Treat3 formed distinctly separate clusters. Although all the groups shared a large size of OTUs as a core microbiota community, a strong distinction existed at genus level. Treat3 contained the highest proportion of the beneficial bacteria and obviously enhanced the capacity of amino acid, lipid metabolism and digestive system. In addition, Treat3 significantly improved the fish growth and increased the liver and serum T-SOD activities while dramatically decreased the liver GPT and GOT. Collectively, these findings demonstrate the beneficial effects of YC feeding on gut microbiota, growth and biochemical parameters and Treat3 might be the optimal supplementation amount for grass carp, which opens up the possibility that a new feed additive can be developed for healthy aquaculture.
