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

The use of biomarkers as diagnostic tools for animal health is becoming an increasingly important resource. In particular, this is true for digestive conditions, where an analysis of fecal samples can provide a non-invasive source of material for analysis. These samples can be used for the early detection of developing conditions or where an infection has taken place. However, biomarkers can also be used as a predictive tool for the advanced identification of animals that may be at an increased risk of developing a condition or having increased susceptibility to a particular type of infection. In the current narrative review, we focus on the use of both the gut microbiota and their resulting metabolites as biomarkers in monogastric farmed animals. Specifically, we review the existing knowledge available in the scientific literature for pigs, rabbits, horses and chickens.
