Soyasaponin and vertical microbial transmission: Maternal effect on the intestinal development and health of early chicks.
Article in iMeta, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Multiple factors, including genetics, nutrition, and health, influence the vertical transmission of microbiota from mothers to their offspring. Recent studies have shown that avian microbiota can be passed to the next generation via the eggshell and egg albumen. However, it remains unclear whether these microbial communities are regulated by nutrition and how they are associated with the host genotype. Chickens, with their controlled rearing conditions and stable genotypes, provide a promising model for investigating microbiome transmission in birds. This study aims to determine whether host genotype-associated bacteria are vertically transmitted between generations, and how maternal nutritional intervention with soyasaponin modulates this microbial transfer, thereby shaping chick intestinal development and informing effective nutritional strategies. We established a microbial vertical transmission model across various anatomical sites in breeder hens, chicken embryos, and chicks. Avian gut microbiota and reproductive tract microbiota can both be found in chicks at various developmental stages. Supplementing breeder hen diets with soyasaponin interacts with vertically transmitted
