Exploration of the effects of altitude change on bacteria and fungi in the rumen of yak (Bos grunniens).
Article in Archives of microbiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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 yak (Bos grunniens) is a ruminant animal with strong regional adaptability. However, little is known about the adaptation of the rumen microbial community of yaks at different altitudes and the adaptation mechanism of the host and intestinal microorganisms to the habitat. We investigated the adaptability of the rumen microorganisms of yaks at high and low altitudes. We also compared and analyzed the abundance and diversity of core microorganisms and those that varied between different animals. The aim was to compare the rumen bacterial and fungal communities of grazing yak living at two elevations. Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Ascomycota, and Chytridiomycota were the dominant bacteria in the plateau and low-altitude regions. Significant differences between the dominant microorganisms in the rumen of yaks were evident in the two regions. The proportion of fiber-degrading bacteria was significantly different between yaks dwelling at high-altitude and low-altitude regions. The abundance of starch-degrading bacteria was not significantly different with altitude. Species clustering similarity analysis showed that the rumen microorganisms in the two areas were obviously isolated and clustered into branches. Functional prediction showed significant differences in rumen microbial methane metabolism, starch and sucrose metabolism, ion-coupled transporter and bacterial secretion system at different altitudes. Overall, the results of this study improved our understanding of the abundance and composition of microorganisms in the rumen of yak at different altitudes.
