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

Migratory birds are key vectors of pathogens and antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs), yet intrapopulation variation and its microbiome-mediated basis remain poorly understood. Here, we characterized the gut microbiome of 70 individuals from a migratory Anser serrirostris population using full-length 16S rDNA sequencing, followed by metagenomic analysis of 25 representative samples. Both approaches consistently identified two distinct groups (E1 and E2). Network analysis revealed impaired microbial interactions in E1 compared to E2. E1 exhibited higher abundances of opportunistic pathogens (e.g., Pseudomonas, Erwinia) and enriched functions related to pathogenicity and ARGs, predominantly driven by these taxa. Conversely, E2 showed function enrichment in short-chain fatty acid biosynthesis and plant metabolite degradation, mediated mainly by Bradyrhizobium and Ligilactobacillus. Genome-centric analysis identified several pathogenic genomes (e.g., Salmonella, Vibrio parahaemolyticus) harboring critical virulence factors and ARGs predominantly in E1. These results provide valuable insights into microbiome-driven variation in pathogen/ARG loads within migratory bird populations.
