Analysis of the milk kefir pan-metagenome reveals four community types, core species, and associated metabolic pathways.
Article in iScience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
A comprehensive metagenomics-based investigation of the microorganisms present within milk kefir communities from across the globe was carried out with a view to defining the milk kefir pan-metagenome, including details relating to core and non-core components. Milk kefir samples, generated by inoculating full fat, pasteurized cow's milk with 64 kefir grains sourced from 25 different countries, were analyzed. We identified core features, including a consistent pattern of domination by representatives from the species
