1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 microbiome inhabiting animal skin plays a crucial role in host fitness by influencing both the composition and function of microbial communities. Environmental factors, including climate, significantly impact microbial diversity and the functional attributes of these communities. However, it remains unclear how specific climatic factors affect amphibian skin microbial composition, community function, and the relationship between these two aspects. Understanding these effects is particularly important because amphibians are poikilotherms and, thus, more susceptible to temperature fluctuations. Here, we investigated the skin microbiome of the rhacophorid tree frog
