In-situ diet-microbiota associations across taxonomic scales in desert-dwelling amphibians and reptiles.
Article in ISME communications, 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
Understanding how host and environmental factors shape gut microbiota is central to microbial ecology and evolution. However, the extent to which gut microbes covary with diet and how such variation reflects host phylogeny, remains unclear under natural conditions. Here, we used DNA metabarcoding of gut contents to analyze the dietary arthropod composition and gut microbiota of four amphibian and three reptile species from the Tarim Desert, Xinjiang, China. These species showed pronounced differences in both diet and microbial profiles. Dominant dietary arthropod families exhibited generally low overlap among species, and dietary variation did not align with host phylogeny. Interestingly,
