Connecting habitats, boosting disease resistance: Spatial connectivity enhances amphibian microbiome defenses against fungal pathogen.

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
Disruption of habitat connectivity alters host movement patterns and pathogen exposure in wildlife. Changes in exposure dynamics have led to increased research interest in host-associated microbial communities (i.e., microbiomes), particularly in how repeated encounters with pathogens may drive microbial filtering processes that favor the assembly of pathogen-inhibiting microbiomes, a concept known as the adaptive microbiome principle. Understanding how habitat connectivity and pathogen exposure shape adaptive microbiomes remains a key frontier in disease ecology. For widely distributed waterborne pathogens such as the amphibian chytrid fungus
