The Pass-on Effect of Tetracycline-Induced Honey Bee (
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Gut microbial community plays an important role in the regulation of insect health. Antibiotic treatment is powerful to fight bacterial infections, while it also causes collateral damage to gut microbiome, which may have long-lasting consequences for host health. However, current studies on honey bees mainly focus on the impact of direct exposure to antibiotics on individual bees, and little is known about the impact of social transmission of antibiotic-induced gut community disorder in honey bee colonies. In order to provide insight into the potential pass-on effect of antibiotic-induced dysbiosis, we colonized newly emerged germ-free workers with either normal or tetracycline-treated gut community and analyzed the gut bacteria composition. We also treated workers with low dosage of tetracycline to evaluate its impact on honey bee gut microbiota. Our results showed that the tetracycline-treated gut community caused disruption of gut community in their receivers, while the direct exposure to the low dosage of tetracycline had no significant effect. In addition, no significant difference was observed on the mortality rate of
