Exploring Feed Efficiency in Beef Cattle: From Data Collection to Genetic and Nutritional Modeling.
Review in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Increasing feed efficiency in beef cattle is critical for meeting the growing global demand for beef while managing rising feed costs and environmental impacts. Challenges in recording feed intake and combining genomic and nutritional models hinder improvements in feed efficiency for sustainable beef production. This review examines the progression from traditional data collection methods to modern genetic and nutritional approaches that enhance feed efficiency. We first discuss the technological advancements that allow precise measurement of individual feed intake and efficiency, providing valuable insights for research and industry. The role of genomic selection in identifying and breeding feed-efficient animals is then explored, emphasizing the benefits of combining data from multiple populations to enhance genomic prediction accuracy. Additionally, the paper highlights the importance of nutritional models that could be used synergistically with genomic selection. Together, these tools allow for optimized feed management in diverse production systems. Combining these approaches also provides a roadmap for reducing input costs and promoting a more sustainable beef industry.
