Metagenome-assembled genomes, and gene and protein catalogues from the global wild boar faecal microbiome.
Article in Scientific data, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Prophylactic antibiotic use in pig farming has contributed to the rise of antimicrobial resistance, spurring interest in probiotics to enhance pig gut health and immunity. Wild relatives of domestic pigs may harbour beneficial microbes, yet their gut microbiomes remain underexplored. In this study, we reconstructed 3,288 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from 89 wild boar faecal samples collected across four countries, all meeting at least MIMAG medium-quality standard (≥50% completeness, <10% contamination). These MAGs represented 968 distinct species, including 956 bacterial species from 113 families and 419 genera, and 12 archaeal species from 2 families and 7 genera, with half classified as novel. In addition, we also constructed catalogues of genes and proteins from the wild boar faecal metagenomes. Notably, most species (58%), genes and proteins (85%) identified in the wild boar faecal microbiomes were absent from equivalent catalogues of domestic pigs. Our catalogues highlight wild boars as a reservoir of previously untapped microbial resources for microbiome research and the exploration of biotechnological applications including probiotics.
