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

backgroundThe effect of time of sample collection after onset of diarrhea on the fecal microbiota composition of calves is unknown.

objectiveCompare the fecal microbiota of calves with diarrhea onset on the day of sampling (D <24h), and calves having had diarrhea for >24 to 48 hours (D 24-48h). ANIMALS: Thirty-one diarrheic calves (20 D <24h and 11 D 24-48h), 3 to 7 days of age.

methodsCross-sectional study. Diarrhea was defined as a calf with loose feces or watery feces. Assessment of the fecal microbiota was performed by sequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicons.

resultsRichness and diversity were not statistically different between D <24h and D 24-48h (P > .05), but bacterial membership and structure differed significantly (AMOVA, P < .001 for both comparisons). Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LefSe) showed an enrichment of Faecalibacterium, Phocaeicola, Lachnospiracea, and Lactobacillus in the feces of D <24h calves, whereas Escherichia/Shigella, Ligilactobacillus, Clostridium_Sensu_Stricto, Clostridium_Incerta_Sedis, and Enterococcus were enriched in the D 24-48h calves. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Rapid changes in fecal microbiota occur during the first 48 hours of diarrhea with an enrichment of lactic acid-producing bacteria in D <24h followed by an enrichment in Escherichia/Shigella and Clostridium spp. in D 24-48h. The time from diarrhea onset to sampling appears to affect the bacterial composition. Researchers should standardize times for fecal collection based on the time of diarrhea.
