Changes in bacterial viability after preparation and storage of fecal microbiota transplantation solution using equine feces.
Article in PeerJ, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been used as a treatment option for horses ( Methods: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of oxygen exposure and different protectant solutions on bacterial viability before and after freezing using horse feces. Fecal samples from 10 healthy horses were aliquoted and diluted in cryoprotectant solutions containing antioxidants ( Results: Freeze-thawing decreased bacterial viability by 47% (mean ± SD: 51 ± 27% before, 27 ± 8% after; Conclusions: Fresh FMT solutions may be better for treating horses with dysbiosis, but if freezing cannot be avoided, glycerol should be used to dilute feces.
