Potential roles of the rectum keystone microbiota in modulating the microbial community and growth performance in goat model.

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
backgroundRuminal microbiota in early life plays critical roles in the life-time health and productivity of ruminant animals. However, understanding of the relationship between gut microbiota and ruminant phenotypes is very limited. Here, the relationship between the rectum microbiota, their primary metabolites, and growth rate of a total of 76 young dairy goats (6-month-old) were analyzed, and then 10 goats with the highest or lowest growth rates respectively were further compared for the differences in the rectum microbiota, metabolites, and animal's immune parameters, to investigate the potential mechanisms by which the rectum microbiota contributes to the health and growth rate.
resultsThe analysis of Spearman correlation and microbial co-occurrence network indicated that some keystone rectum microbiota, including unclassified Prevotellaceae, Faecalibacterium and Succinivibrio, were the key modulators to shape the rectum microbiota and closely correlated with the rectum SCFA production and serum IgG, which contribute to the health and growth rate of young goats. In addition, random forest machine learning analysis suggested that six bacterial taxa in feces could be used as potential biomarkers for differentiating high or low growth rate goats, with 98.3% accuracy of prediction. Moreover, the rectum microbiota played more important roles in gut fermentation in early life (6-month-old) than in adulthood stage (19-month-old) of goats.
conclusionWe concluded that the rectum microbiota was associated with the health and growth rate of young goats, and can be a focus on the design of the early-life gut microbial intervention.
