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

Microbiomes are important to the ecology and evolution of their associated animal hosts. These important functions range broadly from individual animal health to population-level adaptations. Turtle-associated microbiomes are under increasing investigation, given turtles' conservation status and the unique natural history of the shell as an evolutionary-developmental novelty. Many components of the turtle-microbiome interaction remain understudied, including how microbial communities assemble based on host and environmental factors. Here, we hypothesized that age, habitats, and body sites would exhibit significant differential effects on bacterial microbiomes in the Yellow Mud Turtle (
