The validation of the existence of the entero-mammary pathway and the assessment of the differences of the pathway between first and third parity sows.
Article in Translational animal science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Forty sows (PIC Camborough 1050) from a single farm were randomly selected at 112 days of gestation to evaluate if gut bacteria transverse the blood system of the sow to deposit gut microbiota into the colostrum for piglet gut inoculation via the entero-mammary pathway. Fourteen first-parity gilts and 20 third-parity sows were used for the study. At the time of farrowing, colostrum, fecal samples, and blood samples were collected to evaluate the presence of bacteria in each sample. Colostrum and blood samples were processed via centrifugation to separate the immune cell fraction. Total DNA was extracted from fecal, colostrum, and white blood cell fractions. 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon sequencing was conducted at the Iowa State University DNA Facility (Ames, IA) to further characterize the bacterial and archaeal taxa present within each sample. Data were analyzed using Mothur and using R v4.0.3 (R Core Team, 2020). The experimental unit was the sow. Tables were generated to demonstrate the relative abundances of bacteria and archaea present in each type of sample and also identify organisms differentially abundant between sample types.
