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 gut microbiota influences human and animal cognition and behaviour through its effects on the endocrine and immune systems. The microbiome-behaviour relationship may be especially relevant for fish, due to their diverse evolutionary history and potential implications for farming and conservation. Yet, there is limited research on the interaction between gut microbiome and behaviour in non-model fish. We manipulated the rearing environment and diet of fish from two inbred strains of the self-fertilizing mangrove killifish (
