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

Research on the microbiome's impact on abortion and repeat breeder syndrome (RBS) in sheep is lacking, despite the fact that the vaginal bacterial microbiota is related to their reproductive performance. To compare ewe vaginal bacterial microbial communities, vaginal swabs were randomly taken from aborted ewes (A), repeat breeder ewes (RB), and healthy ewes (H), and 16S rRNA gene Illumina MiSeq amplicon sequencing was performed after DNA was extracted. Six common pathogens associated with reproductive disease were detected by PCR. Differences existed in alpha diversity between group A and group H (
