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

Urban stray cats are in close contact with humans and are important potential vectors for zoonotic diseases. However, comparative studies in the gut microbiota of cats living in different environments remain limited. Here, we conducted a comparative analysis of the gut microbiota between stray and domestic cats using 16S rRNA gene sequencing of fecal samples from 14 stray and 11 domestic cats in Hefei, China. Domestic cats harbored significantly higher alpha diversity (Sobs index,
