Heritable and Nonheritable Rumen Bacteria Are Associated with Different Characters of Lactation Performance of Dairy Cows.
Article in mSystems, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Recent studies have reported that some rumen microbes are heritable. However, it is necessary to clarify the functions and specific contributions of the heritable rumen microbes to cattle phenotypes (microbiability) in comparison with those that are nonheritable. This study aimed to identify the distribution and predicted functions of heritable and nonheritable bacterial taxa at species level in the rumen of dairy cows and their respective contributions to energy-corrected milk yield, protein content and yield, and fat content and yield in milk. Thirty-two heritable and 674 nonheritable bacterial taxa were identified at species level, and the functional analysis revealed that predicted microbial functions for both groups were mainly enriched for energy, amino acid, and ribonucleotide metabolism. The mean microbiability (to reflect a single taxon's contribution) of heritable bacteria was found to range from 0.16% to 0.33% for the different milk traits, whereas the range for nonheritable bacteria was 0.03% to 0.06%. These findings suggest a strong contribution by host genetics in shaping the rumen microbiota, which contribute significantly to milk production traits. Therefore, there is an opportunity to further improve milk production traits through attention to host genetics and the interaction with the rumen microbiota.
