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

Birds are important vectors of microbial transmission across diverse habitats. yet their gut microbiome dynamics from South Asian migratory stopover sites remain poorly understood. This study presents the first comprehensive assessment of gut microbiome variation across avian ecological types during the late wintering period at the Ravi River Siphon, a stopover in Punjab, Pakistan. Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, we profiled gut microbial characters of 41 bird individuals from 17 species representing seven avian orders. Alpha diversity differed significantly across both ecological types and taxonomic orders, while beta diversity showed overlapping communities, with limited group distinctions. Dominant phyla included
