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

Extensive evidence demonstrates that a healthy and well-balanced gut microbiota profoundly influences host nutrient absorption, immunity, and metabolism. Unlike mammals, early microbiota colonization in commercial poultry largely depends on the environment as chicks hatch in incubators under a relatively sterile environment (egg and incubator sterilization) without maternal-offspring interaction. The early gut microbiota remains unsaturated, providing a critical window for modulation and influencing the subsequent microbiota succession, which may have long-term health outcomes. Microbiota transplantation (MT) involves transferring the microbiota from a donor to a recipient to modulate the recipient's microbiota toward a desired state. Successfully applied in human medicine, MT is also gaining attention in poultry production to modulate intestinal health. This review comprehensively explores factors affecting MT, its mechanisms, and its potential applications in chickens, providing insights for further research and commercial use.
