Metagenomic analysis of goat feces from Ogliastra (Sardinia, Italy).

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
With its constitutive and functional characteristics, the intestinal microbiota plays a crucial role in the health condition of the animals. Variations in the composition and gene expression of the intestinal microbiota are associated with the risk of the onset of various pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract and chronic inflammatory intestinal diseases. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the variability in the composition of the intestinal microbiota of goats of different breeds (Sarda, Maltese, and Alpine) farmed in different flocks of the region of Ogliastra (Sardegna, Italy) and to assess whether the type of feeding (natural pasture grazing-based versus intensive) could affect the intestinal bacterial composition. We also evaluated possible differences in the composition of the intestinal microbiota between healthy and Caprine arthritis encephalitis (CAE)-affected goats. The economic damage caused by this pathology is due to the reduction in milk production, with infected animals having greater susceptibility to contract diseases. The results of our study highlighted a statistically significant difference (
