Beyond bacteria: Reconstructing microorganism connections and deciphering the predicted mutualisms in mammalian gut metagenomes.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Numerous gut microbial studies have focused on bacteria. However, archaea, viruses, fungi, protists, and nematodes are also regular residents of the gut ecosystem. Little is known about the composition and potential interactions among these six kingdoms in the same samples. Here, we unraveled the complex connection among them using approximately 123 gut metagenomes from 42 mammalian species (including carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores). We observed high variation in bacterial and fungal families and relatively low variation in archaea, viruses, protists, and nematodes. We found that some fungi in the mammalian intestine might come from environmental sources (e.g., soil and dietary plants), and some might be native to the intestine (e.g., the occurrence of
