Microbial profiling of swine-waste digestates: implications for biofertilizer application.
Article in Brazilian journal of microbiology : [publication of the Brazilian Society for 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
The search for sustainable energy sources has become more urgent due to the high level of pollution caused by petroleum-based products. Digestate, a byproduct of the digestion of organic waste generated during biomethane production, can be used as a biofertilizer. This compound enriches the soil and promotes the proliferation of nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which benefits sustainable agriculture. This study assessed the biofertilizer potential of digestates from two anaerobic digesters (pilot and laboratory scale) using swine carcasses and effluent. Physicochemical analyses and microbial diversity profiles revealed differences between the digestates. The microbial diversity was higher in the laboratory-scale digester, suggesting that the presence of swine carcasses favored the development of a more diverse community, which is essential for producing a biofertilizer. Shannon diversity indices for laboratory scale and pilot scale were 7.6 and 5.4, respectively. The most abundant genera observed in the laboratory-scale digester were Methanoculleus (25.38%), Clostridium (7.08%), and Pseudomonas (5.65%). On the other hand, at pilot scale, the greatest abundance was associated with Clostridium (20.90%), Turicibacter (14.13%), and Methanosarcina (3.78%). Beneficial genera including Bacillus, Pseudomonas and Bradyrhizobium were found in both scales, which may play roles in plant growth promotion, phosphorus solubilization, and nitrogen fixation. The abundance of Methanoculleus was higher at the laboratory scale. The results indicate that digestate from the laboratory-scale digester had a greater microbial diversity and a higher presence of beneficial taxa, including Bacillus (2.2%) and Paenibacillus (1.5%), known to stimulate plant growth through phytohormone production. However, further studies including metabolic pathways or field testing are needed to understand the variation in microbiota associated with digestates from swine waste, including animal carcasses.
