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

Introduction: Diarrhea after weaning of piglets is one of the most serious diseases in pig herds, which brings huge economic losses to the pig industry. Diarrhea in piglets after weaning has a significant impact on the composition of gut microbiota, which leads to the disturbance of normal metabolic processes. Method: To investigate the effects of weaning diarrhea on gut microbiota and its metabolites, 84 samples were collected from 42 piglets pre-weaning and post-weaning, including 17 samples from post-weaning diarrheal piglets. The samples were sequenced for 16S rRNA and untargeted metabolites. Results: A total of 3,192 ASVs, 20 phyla, and 286 genera were identified. A total of 32 genera were detected by difference analysis between healthy post-weaning piglets and diarrhea post-weaning piglets. It was observed that post-weaning diarrhea led to a reduction in the relative abundance of Discussion: Taken together, this study systematically reveals the dynamic succession and structure of the gut microbiota and metabolites in diarrhea and healthy piglets pre-weaning and post-weaning. Our findings provide a reference for the microbiological and metabolite etiology associated with post-weaning diarrhea.
