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: Recently, some regions that originally focused on strong-flavor baijiu production started producing Jiang-flavored baijiu, providing a new perspective for studying the dynamic changes in the microbial community during brewing. Methods: This study used second-round fermented grains of Jiang-flavored baijiu from three Guizhou production regions (Renhuai, Duyun, and Bijie). By applying metagenomics technology and various analytical and statistical methods, we analyzed the community structures of bacteria and fungi in fermented grains, their functional genes, and their correlations with environmental factors. Results: We identified 1063 bacterial genera and 411 fungal genera. Although the dominant microbial species were similar across regions, their relative abundances differed significantly. Discussion: This study elucidated the structural and functional characteristics of microbial communities in second-round fermented grains of Jiang-flavored baijiu under production area transitions and proposed policy recommendations to promote the differentiated development of the baijiu industry.
