Changes in fecal microbiota of dairy cows with and without endometritis.
Article in BMC veterinary research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundEndometritis is a uterine infection caused by bacterial pathogens and has detrimental effects on productive and reproductive performance in dairy cows. A large number of studies have demonstrated the association of gut microbiota with infectious diseases. However, the role of gut microbiota in dairy cows with endometritis is still poorly understood.
resultsIn the present study, we characterized the fecal microbial populations in the dairy cows suffering from metritis (n = 10) and healthy cows (n = 9) using the 16 S rRNA gene sequencing. Results revealed an increased abundance of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes in the affected cows indicating the potential role of these two bacterial taxa in the pathogenesis of endometritis. The Ruminococcaceae_UCG-005 was the predominant genus while Olsenella and Succinivibrio were the most abundant genera in the cows affected with metritis. Further, the association of specific genera from Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes indicated three co-occurrence groups indicating the potential interaction of these genera in modulating the immune response, dysbiosis and inflammatory reaction. In addition, a significantly higher abundance of genes involved in the excretory system was observed in affected cows.
conclusionsOur findings provide evidence of changes in gut microbiota composition in cows suffering from metritis and advocate the need to explore the effect of commensal gut bacteria specifically co-occurring taxa in uterine inflammation and infection.
