Comparative Analysis of Bovine Fecal Microbiota and Short-Chain Fatty Acids Variation During Dry Period, Pregnancy and Lactation.
Article in Microorganisms, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The bovine gut microbiota is crucial for many physiological functions, but how microbial interactions and related metabolic processes shift during pregnancy and lactation remains poorly understood. This study utilized fecal samples from 18 Bunaji (White Fulani) cows as a model to examine the gut microbial composition and structure across lactation, pregnancy, and the dry phase using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Community composition analysis, alpha and beta diversity, LEfSe and correlation analyses were performed to explore the relationship between these reproductive stages, gut microbiota, and concentrations of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Based on the Shannon and Simpson alpha diversity indices, no significant differences among the groups were found. However, beta diversity analysis revealed clear distinctions in microbial community structures between the groups. The most abundant microbial phyla across all three groups were the Bacillota (55-60%) and Bacteroidota (25-33%). At both the family and genus levels, cellulose-degrading bacteria such as Oscillospiraceae, Bacteroidaceae, Sphingobacteriaceae,
