The Microbiota of Moon Snail Egg Collars is Shaped by Host-Specific Factors.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2024. 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
Moon Snails lay eggs using a mixture of mucus and sediment to form an egg mass commonly referred to as an egg collar. These collars do not appear to experience micro-biofouling or predation and this observation led us to hypothesize that the egg collars possess a chemically-rich microbiota that protect the egg collars from pathogens. Herein, we sought to gain an understanding of the bacterial composition of the egg collars by amplifying and sequencing the 16S rRNA gene from egg collar and sediment samples collected at four distinct geographical regions in SW Florida. Relative abundance and non-metric multidimensional scaling plots revealed distinct differences in the bacterial composition between the egg collar and sediment samples. In addition, the egg collars had a lower α-diversity than the sediment, with specific genera being significantly enriched in the egg collars. Analysis of microorganisms consistent across two seasons suggests that
