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

Due to its high digestibility, rich nutrient profile, and potential probiotic content, goat milk is an essential nutritional resource, particularly for individuals with cow milk allergies. This review summarises the current state of microbial diversity in goat milk, emphasising the implications for quality, safety, and probiotic potential. This systematic review adhered to PRISMA guidelines, conducting a comprehensive literature search across PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using keywords related to microbial profiling in goat milk. The inclusion criteria targeted English-language studies from 2000 to 2025 that utilised high-throughput or next-generation sequencing methods. Out of 126 articles screened, 84 met the eligibility criteria. The extracted data focused on microbial diversity, profiling techniques, and their respective strengths and limitations in evaluating probiotic potential and spoilage risks. The review addresses the challenges linked to microbial spoilage and the composition and functional roles of microbial communities in goat milk. With species such as
