The digestive tract sections of the sea cucumber Isostichopus badionotus reveal differences in composition, diversity, and functionality of the gut microbiota.
Article in Archives of microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
For the first time, this study analyses the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota of Isostichopus badionotus in captivity, using high-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing, and predicts the metagenomic functions of the microbiota. The results revealed a different composition of the gut microbiota for the foregut (FG) and midgut (MG) compared to the hindgut (HG), with a predominance of Proteobacteria, followed by Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes. The FG and MG demonstrated a greater bacterial diversity compared to the HG. In addition, a complex network of interactions was observed at the genus level and identified some strains with probiotic and bioremediation potentials, such as Acinetobacter, Ruegeria, Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Aeromonas, Rhodopseudomonas, Agarivorans, Bacillus, Enterococcus, Micrococcus, Bifidobacterium, and Shewanella. Predicting metabolic pathways revealed that the bacterial composition in each section of the intestine participates in different physiological processes such as metabolism, genetic and environmental information processing, organismal systems, and cellular processes. Understanding and manipulating microbe--host-environment interactions and their associated functional capacity could substantially contribute to achieving more sustainable aquaculture systems for I. badionotus.
