Topical Application of Adult Cecal Contents to Eggs Transplants Spore-Forming Microbiota but Not Other Members of the Microbiota to Chicks.
Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The intestinal microbiota plays an essential role in the metabolism and immune competence of chickens from the first day after hatching. In modern production systems, chicks are isolated from adult chickens, instead hatching in a clean environment. As a result, chicks are colonized by environmental bacteria, including potential pathogens. There is a need to investigate methods by which chicks can be exposed to a more appropriate microbial community at hatching. Such methods must be easy to apply in a hatchery and produce consistent results. The development of the intestinal microbiota of chicks hatched from eggs sprayed with dilute adult cecal content during incubation was observed at 0, 3, 7, and 14 days posthatching (dph) across two experiments. High-throughput Illumina sequencing was performed for the V4 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene. A topical treatment of dilute adult cecal content was sufficient to transplant spore-forming bacteria such as
