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

Donkeys, as single-stomach herbivores, have a complex and diverse microbial community in their digestive tracts. The intestinal bacterial community is crucial for maintaining intestinal homeostasis, as well as the host's overall nutrition and health. However, research on donkey gut microbes is relatively limited, particularly regarding the microbial colonization patterns in different intestinal segments of adult donkeys. Therefore, this study examined the abundance and function of microbiota across various sites of the intestinal tract (duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, colon) and feces of healthy adult Dezhou male donkeys using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and PICRUSt analysis. The results indicate that donkeys have a rich gut microbial diversity and a large microbial population. No significant differences in the indices of alpha diversity were observed among the donkey's duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, colon, and feces. A Venn diagram analysis revealed the presence of both unique (Duodenum: 4645; Jejunum: 3586; Ileum: 4904; Cecum: 4253; Colon: 6135; Feces: 4885) and shared (339) ASVs among the different sections. A principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) revealed significant differences (R
