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

Introduction: The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, an extreme high-altitude ecosystem, presents a unique model for studying host-microbe-environment coevolution under environmental stress. However, the role of resident wildlife, particularly non-migratory passerines, as reservoirs and vectors for cross-boundary antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) dissemination remains poorly understood. Methods: Here, through metagenomic analysis of two endemic passerines (Pseudopodoces humilis and Pyrgilauda ruficollis) and their habitats. Results: We reveal convergent adaptations in their gut microbiomes, dominated by Discussion: Our findings redefine resident passerines as sentinels of ecosystem health and bridges for cross-boundary antimicrobial resistance (AMR) spread. Mitigating global AMR thus necessitates interdisciplinary strategies targeting environmental reservoirs (e.g., regulating livestock antibiotic use) and monitoring avian-mediated gene flow.
