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

Pistachio skin is a by-product that is considered a promising novel feed ingredient for ruminants; however, its role in shaping the lamb gastrointestinal tract microbiota is poorly studied. The present study aimed to investigate, through a metagenomics approach, the effects of integrating pistachio skin into the diet on the faecal and ruminal microbiota of healthy lambs. Faecal samples, collected at the beginning (d0) and 58 days after the start of the dietary treatment (d58), and ruminal samples, collected after slaughter, were subjected to Illumina MiSeq analysis of the 16S rRNA gene. The results revealed that, although temporal variations were observed, the supplementation of pistachio skin did not markedly affect the overall faecal microbiota structure. Conversely, specific rumen taxa were selectively modulated by the experimental diet. In conclusion, the use of pistachio skin as a feed ingredient can be considered a suitable and sustainable dietary strategy that modulates specific rumen microbial groups, thereby preserving the stability of the gut microbiota in lambs.
