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
Stingless bees are the main pollinators in tropical and subtropical regions. However, there are only a few studies on the structure and composition of bacteria in the gut and beebread of stingless bees, especially in China. To address this shortage of information, we characterized the microbiota of three common species of stingless bees (Lepidotrigona terminata, Lepidotrigona ventralis and Tetragonula pagdeni) and beebread samples of T. pagdeni. The results showed that the gut of stingless bees contained a set of dominant bacteria, including Acetobacter-like, Snodgrassella, Lactobacillus, Psychrobacter, Pseudomonas, Bifidobacterium and other species. The gut microbiota structures of the three stingless bees were different, and the abundances of bacterial species in the gut varied between communities of the same bee species. The reasons for this are manifold and may include food preference, age and genetic differences. In addition, the abundances of Lactobacillus, Carnimonas, Escherichia-Shigella, Acinetobacter and other species were high in the beebread of stingless bees. In conclusion, our findings reveal the bacteria composition and structure of the gut and beebread of stingless bees in China and deepen our understanding of the dominant bacteria of the gut and beebread of stingless bees.
