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

Gut microbiota "enterotypes" are strongly associated with diet and host health. For grazing animals, plant species richness and nutrient content of vegetation may alter the food supply and diet composition of animals. Understanding this relationship is critical to clarify the adaption of gut microbiota to changes in vegetation quantity and quality in grassland ecosystems. Here, we studied the relationship between dietary and gut microbiota composition of sheep (lambs) over a growing season in a grassland ecosystem in northern China. Variation in vegetation composition among grazing intensities was greatest in September: and sheep preferred forbs and Rosaceae throughout the grazing period in all grazing treatments, yet their preference for Fabaceae was reduced in HG treatments in September. Grazing intensity and seasonal variations in food resource availability influenced dietary patterns, which in turn affected gut bacterial community composition. Enterotype 1, dominated by
