Host genetic and environmental determinants of chicken gut microbiota: A review.
Review in Poultry science, 2026. 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 gut microbiota is a diverse and abundant microbial community in animals; it plays a key role in nutrient absorption and immune defense and is an important factor affecting chicken health and growth performance. Understanding the composition of chicken gut microbiota and its influencing factors can provide a theoretical foundation for maintaining the diversity and microecological balance of beneficial microbial communities in the chicken intestinal tract. This review aimed to explore the recent advancements in understanding the non-genetic e.g. environmental and host genetic factors that influence the chicken gut microbiome, focusing on the gut microbial composition including host genetic kinship, heritability, microbial quantitative loci, and candidate genes. Studies on host genetic factors have identified several genes associated with gut microbial composition including lipid droplet associated hydrolase (LDAH) and apolipoprotein B (APOB) associated with Staphylococcus; TOX high mobility group box family member 2 (TOX2) significant locus linked to Veillonella, and reelin (RELN), lumican (LUM), and S-phase cyclin A associated protein in the ER (SCAPER) associated with intestinal microbial abundance. These factors are involved in host growth, development, and immune system regulation, collectively indicating that host genes play a significant role in regulating chicken gut microbiota. Furthermore, a comprehensive exploration of both non-genetic and host genetic factors could provide a solid foundation and practical strategies for improving chicken health and production performance by regulating the gut microbiota.
