Differences in the digestive enzyme activity, intestinal mucosa and microbial community in loach cultivated in two separate environments.

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
backgroundFish culture in rice paddies can contribute to increasing yields of rice and surplus fish products. Environmental impacts and food-safety issues have become important topics in aquaculture, and organic foods currently were paid attention by researchers and industry practitioners. But the mechanism of differences in quality of Loach (Paramisgurnus dabryanus) reared in rice fields and ponds remains largely uncharacterized. In this study,digestive enzyme activity, intestinal mucosa cells and the gut microbial community of loach were determined under the two separate cultivation modes.
resultsThe levels of intestinal digestive enzyme activity of fish reared in the paddy-cultivated mode (PACM) were higher (P < 0.05) than those in the pond-cultivated mode (POCM). It was extremely significant (P < 0.01) for the activity of lipase in the liver, foregut and midgut, and for the activities of amylase and trypsin in the hindgut. Acid mucous cells in the loach foregut in PACM were fewer than in POCM (P < 0.01). In summer, the abundance of the Firmicutes, Lactobacillus spp., Aeromonas hydrophila, Enterobacteriaceae and Streptococcus spp. in loach intestinal mucosa in PACM was higher than in POCM. In fall, the abundance of total bacteria, the Bacteroidetes, Bifidobacterium and Enterobacteriaceae in the intestinal mucosa in PACM was likewise higher than in POCM. These differences were significant (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) between loach in the two separate culture modes for all microorganisms except for A. hydrophila and Streptococcus spp. In addition, quantitative PCR assays showed that some microorganisms presented consistently similar abundances in the gut as in the culture water.
conclusionsThese results showed some enzymatic activities involved in digestion in liver and intestine of loach in PACM were higher than those in POCM, as using digestive enzyme analysis and histological observation of intestinal sections. These findings suggest most of the microorganisms examined in the gut mucosa of loach in the two culture modes significantly differed in abundance between summer and fall. However, some pathogenic bacteria in the gut, particularly A. hydrophila, presented lower abundance in PACM in fall, yet did not differ in abundance between loach in the two cultivation modes.
