Comparative analysis of the intestinal bacterial communities in mud crab Scylla serrata in South India.
Article in MicrobiologyOpen, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Little is known about the functions of the crustacean gut microbiome, but environmental parameters and habitat are known to affect the composition of the intestinal microbiome, which may in turn affect the physiological status of the host. The mud crab Scylla serrata is an economically important species, and is wild-caught, and farmed across the Indo-Pacific region. In this study, we compared the composition of the gut microbiome (in terms of gut microbial species richness and abundance) of S. serrata collected from wild sites, and farms, from the east and west coast of India, and also tested the effects of the environment on the composition. The water temperature had a statistically significant effect on gut microbiome composition, with microbial biodiversity decreasing with increasing water temperature. This could have negative effects on both wild and farmed mud crabs under future climate change conditions, although further research into the effects of temperature on gut microbiomes is required. By comparison, salinity, crab mass and carapace width, geographical location as well as whether they were farmed or wild-caught crabs did not have a significant impact on gut microbiome composition. The results indicate that farming does not significantly alter the composition of the gut microbiome when compared to wild-caught crabs.
