Genomic Sequencing Reveals the Diversity of Seminal Bacteria and Relationships to Reproductive Potential in Boar Sperm.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
A number of emerging studies suggest that pathogenic microorganisms in semen may cause a decline in the reproductive potential of spermatozoa, and the bacterial diversity and profile of ejaculated boar semen in different seasons are currently unknown. To explore the bacterial composition and changes in ejaculated boar semen from winter and summer, and the underlying mechanism of decline in sperm quality and fertility capacity in summer, 120 ejaculated semen samples were examined for bacterial communities using genomic sequencing technology, and the associations between microbial composition and sperm reproductive potential were investigated. The results showed that Proteobacteria (57.53%), Firmicutes (31.17%), Bacteroidetes (4.24%), and Actinobacteria (3.41%) are the dominant phyla in the ejaculated semen, and the dominant genera were
