Survey of gut microbial biogeography and their functional niche in the grow-finishing swine of ordinary feeding.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Swine represent one of the most economically significant livestock worldwide, and their intestinal microbial communities are crucial for maintaining physiological development and regulating host metabolism. While extensive research has focused on the fecal microbiota of swine, investigations into microbial communities across different intestinal segments remain limited. Objective: This study aims to elucidate the intestinal microbiota of swine by analyzing luminal contents from different intestinal segments, including the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, and colon. Methods: We employed 16S rRNA sequencing to explore the diversity and structure of gut microbial biogeography, microbial functional niches, and their associated pathways. Results: Our findings reveal significantly lower microbial richness and diversity in the small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum) compared to the large intestine (cecum and colon) ( Conclusion: These highlight the importance of genus specialists compared to genus generalists. The findings provide essential data for assessing the role of the intestinal microbiome in maintaining and enhancing swine health and productivity, offering fundamental guidance for further exploration of host-microbe interaction mechanisms and regulatory pathways.
