Longitudinal metagenomic study reveals the dynamics of fecal antibiotic resistome in pigs throughout the lifetime.
Article in Animal microbiome, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundThe dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) poses a substantial threat to environmental safety and human health. Herein, we present a longitudinal paired study across the swine lifetime from birth to market, coupled with metagenomic sequencing to explore the dynamics of ARGs and their health risk in the swine fecal microbiome.
resultsWe systematically characterized the composition and distribution of ARGs among the different growth stages. In total, 829 ARG subtypes belonging to 21 different ARG types were detected, in which tetracycline, aminoglycoside, and MLS were the most abundant types. Indeed, 134 core ARG subtypes were shared in all stages and displayed a growth stage-associated pattern. Furthermore, the correlation between ARGs, gut microbiota and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) revealed Escherichia coli represented the main carrier of ARGs. We also found that in most cases, the dominant ARGs could be transmitted to progeny piglets, suggesting the potential ARGs generation transmission. Finally, the evaluation of the antibiotic resistance threats provides us some early warning of those high health risk ARGs.
conclusionsCollectively, this relatively more comprehensive study provides a primary overview of ARG profile in swine microbiome across the lifetime and highlights the health risk and the intergenerational spread of ARGs in pig farm.
