Seasonal Breeding Alters Fecal Microbiota and Metabolome in the Male Captive Yangtze Finless Porpoise (
Article in Ecology and evolution, 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
The Yangtze finless porpoise (YFP) is a critically endangered freshwater cetacean endemic to China. Understanding seasonal breeding patterns is critical for the effective conservation of critically endangered species. The current study was designed to examine the function and taxonomic characteristics of fecal microbiota and their metabolites in male captive YFPs during both nonbreeding (NB) and breeding (B) seasons, analyzing 20 fecal samples using both UHPLC-MS/MS and 16S rRNA gene sequencing approaches. The present study revealed that Firmicutes were increased in the NB season, while Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Fusobacteriota were increased in the B season at the phylum level. At the genus level,
