A large database linking the rumen bacterial composition and milk traits in Lacaune sheep.
Article in Scientific data, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ruminants are able to produce food for human consumption from plants, thanks to rumen bacteria. Bacteria are able to transform feed to microbial proteins and to biohydrogenate unsaturated fatty acids, contributing directly to fine milk composition. The database consists of daily records of milk yield, somatic cell score and 17 milk components such as fatty acids and proteins from 795 Lacaune dairy ewes. Ruminal samples were extracted from ewes using a gastric tube and sequenced to determine the bacterial composition by metabarcoding 16S rRNA gene on a next-generation sequencing platform. From bioinformatics analysis, 9,536,442 sequences were retained and re-grouped into 2,059 affiliated OTUs, represented by 751 to 168,617 sequences. Overall, 2,059 OTUs from 795 samples were attributed to 11 phyla. The most representative phyla were Bacteroidota (50.6%) and Firmicutes (43.6%), and the most abundant families were Prevotellaceae (37.9%), Lachnospiraceae (18.1%), Ruminococcaceae (8.97%). Both shared datasets will be useful for researchers to study the link between rumen bacteria and milk traits and to propose solutions to improve animal production and health.
