1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Pampa Rocha (PR) is a breed of pig that emerged in eastern Uruguay during the 18th century. They represent an important resource for non-intensive production using purebred or crossbred animals. However, productive activities have been oriented towards intensive production using commercial breeds, abandoning, except by some academic and educational institutions, the promotion of this creole breed. Thus, a population of few animals is still maintained, which could be in danger of disappearing. This work focuses on the fecal microbiota of these animals, which is related to the animal genetic background but also to their grazing capacity and resistance to weather. The structure and diversity of bacterial communities in the intestines of four PR adult females and of other breeds, including crosses, reared under non-grazing conditions, were analyzed and compared. Results obtained indicate that PR fecal microbiota is clearly different from those of other animals analyzed. Some sequences, corresponding to particular groups apparently related to the consumption of fiber, were strongly associated with PR pigs.
