Rural Versus Urban Mothers' Microbiome Difference and Its Effect on Neonates: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The growth and development of microorganisms are stimulated by external stimuli. Urbanization has changed the macroenvironment and individual microenvironmental factors such as smoking, alcohol, and diet, which can alter the microbiota and influence disease in the mother and child. However, the microbiome difference between rural and urban mothers and its effect on neonates have received little attention, as per sources; we have not found any systematic review. This review determined the microbiome difference between rural and urban mothers and its effect on neonates. Five studies selected based on inclusion/exclusion criteria were retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases, and evidence-based comparisons were made to establish the microbiome difference in rural and urban mothers and its effect on neonates. The study findings indicate that microbiome development in newborns is hindered by urbanization. Infants born to urban mothers have reduced microbial diversity, thereby having decreased protective immunity.
