Bacterial Diversity in Aquacultured African Catfish and Source Pond Water in Buea, Cameroon.
Article in International journal of microbiology, 2025. 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
The catfish is a prominent freshwater fish species farmed in Cameroon to meet the escalating demand for fish products. Despite considerable growth potential, there are concerns about the occurrence of bacteria pathogenic to both fish and humans within aquaculture systems. Research on the microbiome of catfish and their habitats remains largely unexplored. Given the critical importance of understanding the microbial composition within aquaculture systems to ensure food safety and protect public health, this study aimed to generate vital preliminary data by investigating the bacteriome of catfish gills and intestines and pond water environment in Cameroon using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. The findings revealed a diverse bacterial community (30 phyla, 678 genera, and 1056 species), with Fusobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Verrucomicrobia collectively representing over 93% of the bacterial community observed. Notably, Fusobacteria emerged as the dominant phylum in catfish gills (49.98%) and intestines (65.3%), while Proteobacteria predominated in the pond water environment (40.24%). Bacteria of genus
