Where Do Milk Microbes Originate? Traceability of Microbial Community Structure in Raw Milk.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Variations in ecological environments (including milk collection equipment and milk storage tanks in the pasture) and seasonal changes may contribute to raw milk contamination, thereby affecting food safety. The composition, structure, and relationships between raw milk and microbial communities in these environments are not well understood. In this study, 84 samples from spring and autumn in Luxian County, Yunnan Province, China, were collected for high-throughput sequencing technology. The results showed that the skin on the nipple surface and the environment (including the wiping samples of the automatic milking machine and the inner cover of the milk tank) had the greatest impact on microbial community composition in raw milk, followed by dung. In addition, microbial diversity in autumn samples was significantly higher, likely due to seasonal factors, including increased rainfall and reduced ultraviolet radiation. By analyzing the microbial community of raw milk and its environmental source, this study traced the origin of microorganisms in milk, providing insights for further exploration of the interaction between the pasture environment and raw milk microorganisms.
