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

The zebrafish increasingly serves as a model for studying the influence of the gut microbiota on the physiology of the host. In an experimental setting, specific bacteria can be used to colonize the gut of zebrafish at an early stage (larvae), affecting their development, physiology, behavior, and overall health. However, the efficiency of gut microbial colonization protocols in zebrafish larvae depends on several factors, such as bacterial strains, zebrafish lines, pre-colonization status, timing of colonization, the type of food vector, and assay methods. In this study, we tested how different parameters influence bacterial colonization in the gut larvae from various genetic lines, both axenic and conventional. To demonstrate gut colonization in transparent larvae up to 9 days post-fertilization (dpf), we used an
