Effects of Growth Stage and Rearing Pattern on Pig Gut Microbiota.
Article in Current microbiology, 2022. 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
Understanding the developmental period or the patterns of gut microbiota is important for nutritionists when designing a feed formula or adjusting a feeding strategy. The effects of growth stage or rearing pattern on pig gut microbiota have not been fully investigated. Herein, 39 fecal samples from pigs aged 3-9 months under two rearing patterns were collected to analyze the gut microbiome. Samples were clustered into three distinct groups, namely, early (3 months), middle (5 months), and late (7 and 9 months) stages, using principal coordinate analysis and analysis of similarities test. The rearing-pattern effects were very minimal, and no differences were observed in the alpha diversity [observed operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and Shannon index] of gut microbiota. From early and middle to late stage, Shannon index gradually decreased and OTUs gradually increased. Pigs at early stage were enriched with bacteria from family Prevotellaceae, including the genera Prevotella_9 and Prevotellaceae_NK3B31, whereas pigs at late stage were enriched with family Ruminococcaceae, including genera Ruminococcaceae_UCG-005 and Oscillospira. Pigs in the semi-free-grazing farm group were significantly enriched with bacteria from order Clostridiales. Growth stage better explained the changes in porcine gut microbiota than rearing patterns.
