Impact of container type on the microbiome of airag, a Mongolian fermented mare's milk.

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
Airag, a fermented mare's milk in Mongolia, exhibits diverse flavors and microbiota due to distinct production processes and environments in nomadic households. Recently, there has been a shift from the traditional cow skin container, 'khokhuur', to a plastic container for airag production, potentially impacting the microbiota and quality. To address this notion, we aimed to elucidate the differences in the microbiota between airag samples from a plastic container and those from a khokhuur. We collected airag samples produced using either a plastic container or khokhuur from three houses in Mogod Sum (county) in Bulgan Aimag (province) and analyzed the chemical and microbiome properties of the obtained samples. Compared with the khokhuur, the plastic containers exhibited high heat retention at night and boosted lactate production, which sustained a lower pH level in airag. A series of alpha diversity indices of airag microbiota were significantly higher in airag produced in khokhuurs than in those produced in the plastic containers. In particular,
