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
Livestock farming systems are associated with differences microbial communities in both animals and soils, yet the ecological mechanisms linking these compartments remain poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of contrasting farming systems (intensive vs. agroecological) on the gut microbiota of Creole pigs and associated soil microbial communities in farms located in Guadeloupe (French West Indies). Fecal and soil samples were analyzed using 16S and 18S Ribosomal Ribonucleic Acid (rRNA) genes metabarcoding to characterize bacterial, archaeal and fungal diversity. Pig gut microbiota was dominated by Bacillota (63.44% and 67.55% for intensive and agroecological raised pigs respectively) and Bacteroidota (24.70% and 18.56% for intensive and agroecological raised pigs respectively), whereas soils were mainly dominated by Acidobacteriota (14.61% and 17.48% for plowed and unplowed soil respectively), Actinomycetota (7.61% and 9.05% for plowed and unplowed soil respectively), and Bacillota (6.62% and 9.87% for plowed and unplowed soil respectively), indicating limited taxonomic overlap. Agroecological management was associated with higher relative abundances of Bacillota and Euryarchaeota in pigs and greater fungal diversity in soils. A total of 234 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were common to all four groups (pig gut-agroecological, pig gut-intensive, plowed soil and unplowed soil), representing the microbial taxa shared between gut and soil environments; however, these taxa were generally abundant in the gut and rare in soils. These results suggest an ecological link between pigs and soil microbial communities that may be mediated by environmental processes. This underscores the interconnectedness of animal and environmental health within a One Health framework.
