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

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has demonstrated potential in reshaping gut microbiota to improve animal phenotypes, yet its application in lean-type to obese-type pigs like Ningxiang (NX) pigs remains unclear. To address this, we investigated the effects of Lean Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire (DLY) pig-derived fecal microbiota on the growth, gut microbiota composition, and serum metabolism of obese NX pigs. Thirty-six 50-day-old castrated male NX pigs of similar initial body weight were randomly assigned to either a control group or FMT group. The trial lasted for 35 days. Results indicated that FMT significantly improved the average daily gain and increased nutrient digestibility. Serum biochemical analysis revealed elevated levels of globulin and total protein and reduced low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the FMT group. In addition, 16S rRNA sequencing demonstrated that FMT modified gut microbiota composition and diversity, enriching beneficial genera such as
