Endometrial microbiome in mares with and without clinical endometritis.
Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Chronic endometritis (CE) is a major contributor to reproductive failure in mares and in many other mammals. Current diagnostic methods lack sensitivity due to the lack of pathognomonic clinical signs or ultrasound findings. Although microbial involvement was suggested, no definitive causative agents have been isolated, and the few studies conducted are compromised by the dependence on culturable aerobic organisms. This study compares the endometrial microbiomes of 13 healthy and 13 CE-diagnosed mares that were carefully matched to their locations and management. Microbial diversity was significantly reduced in CE mares, indicating dysbiosis.
