Metagenomic Predictions: A Review 10 years on.
Review in Frontiers in genetics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Metagenomic predictions use variation in the metagenome (microbiome profile) to predict the unknown phenotype of the associated host. Metagenomic predictions were first developed 10 years ago, where they were used to predict which cattle would produce high or low levels of enteric methane. Since then, the approach has been applied to several traits and species including residual feed intake in cattle, and carcass traits, body mass index and disease state in pigs. Additionally, the method has been extended to include predictions based on other multi-dimensional data such as the metabolome, as well to combine genomic and metagenomic information. While there is still substantial optimisation required, the use of metagenomic predictions is expanding as DNA sequencing costs continue to fall and shows great promise particularly for traits heavily influenced by the microbiome such as feed efficiency and methane emissions.
