Effects of Seasonal Hibernation on the Similarities Between the Skin Microbiota and Gut Microbiota of an Amphibian (Rana dybowskii).
Article in Microbial ecology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
Both the gut and skin microbiotas have important functions for amphibians. The gut microbiota plays an important role in both the health and evolution of the host species, whereas the role of skin microbiota in disease resistance is particularly important for amphibians. Many studies have examined the effects of environmental factors on the skin and gut microbiotas, but no study has yet explored the similarities between the skin and gut microbiotas. In this study, the gut and skin microbiotas of Rana dybowskii in summer and winter were investigated via high-throughput Illumina sequencing. The results showed that the alpha diversity of gut and skin microbiotas decreased significantly from summer to winter. In both seasons, the microbial composition and structure differed significantly between the gut and skin, and the similarities between these microbiotas differed between seasons. The pairwise distances between the gut and skin microbiotas were greater in winter than in summer. The ratio of core OTUs and shared OTUs to the sum of the OTUs in the gut and skin microbiotas in summer was significantly higher than that in winter. The similarities between the gut and skin microbiotas are important for understanding amphibian ecology and life history.
