Comparative Analysis of Faecal Bacteria in Captive Asian Elephants of Various Age Groups and Musth.
Article in Indian journal of microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Study of gut microbiome is an emerging area in modern research with over one trillion population is known to inhabit the gut of organisms. The gut microbiome constitutes bacteria, viruses, protozoa and fungi and their collective genetic material present in the gastrointestinal tract. It is an essential part of a species' ecology and influenced by the diet and phylogeny of the host. Most studies on the significance of gut microbiota and its association with physiology were done in humans than animals, and even fewer in elephants. Here in this study, we ventured to study the diversity of faecal bacteria of elephants of various age groups and musth. Bacteriological analysis of faecal samples from elephants of various age groups and musth were done and a total viable count was determined. Bacterial colonies obtained from elephant faecal samples of various age groups and musth were identified employing 16S rDNA sequencing. Here we evolved a PCR based strategy to amplify partial gene which encodes 16S rRNA was sequenced and the sequence obtained was analyzed by NCBI BLAST to identify these bacterial strains.
