Refining microbial biomarker identification in rumen microbiome studies: a viability PCR-based approach.
Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 rumen microbiome significantly affects host performance, influencing feed efficiency, nitrogen utilization, and methane emission. However, conventional DNA-based marker gene sequencing cannot distinguish between viable and non-viable microbes, leading to inaccurate microbiota analyses. Viability PCR (v-PCR) with propidium monoazide (PMA) can inhibit DNA amplification from membrane-compromised cells, allowing the detection of viable microbes in rumen cultures. Therefore, this study aims to identify conditions for applying PMA in rumen culture experiments using qPCR and to examine its effect on the rumen microbial community using 16S rRNA gene sequencing in standard
