Captivity drives multi-generational shifts in the gut microbiome that mirror changing animal fitness.
Article in mBio, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Gut microbiomes can dramatically affect host health and fitness, but can shift rapidly under changing environmental conditions. Understanding the interplay between microbiota, environmental pressures, and host responses is critical for predicting species' resilience, particularly in populations transitioning from the wild to human care for conservation breeding. Although captivity can profoundly alter microbial communities and host physiology, the dynamics of these transitions across generations remain poorly understood. We evaluated gut microbiota and fitness metrics in the endangered Pacific pocket mouse (
