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 gut microbiota is vital to host health, yet the relative influence of host traits and environmental factors on fish gut microbiota dynamics remains underexplored. We investigated the ecological dynamics of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) gut microbiota by analysing 847 samples from wild and farmed salmon across diverse geographic regions, developmental phases, and associated diet and environmental microbiota. Farmed salmon exhibited reduced microbial diversity and distinct community composition with increased Bacillota and reduced Pseudomonadota compared to wild salmon. Microbial diversity declined with advancing developmental phases notably due to reduced Pseudomonadota and expanded Mycoplasma. Diet was the primary contributor (~ 23%) to farmed salmon microbiota, with environmental inputs varying by region and phase. These findings highlight the importance of aquaculture practices guided by microbiota insights, while emphasize the need to preserve microbial diversity in wild populations to enhance resilience against environmental pressures, contributing to both sustainable farming and conservation strategies.
