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

backgroundMethane emission from enteric rumen fermentation is a main source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and a major concern for global warming.

resultsIn this study, we isolated methanotroph-methylotroph consortium NC52PC from the rumen after a series of sub-culture and repetitive streaking on an agar plate and polycarbonate membrane filter. The NC52PC comprises methanotroph species (Methylocystis sp.) and methylotroph species (Methylobacterium sp.), forming a consortium capable of growing solely on methane as a carbon source. Their morphology, growth, and genome sequence were characterized. We assessed its effectiveness in mitigating methane emissions through both in vitro and in vivo experiments. During the in vitro trial, the introduction of NC52PC (at a concentration of 5.1 × 10

conclusionFeeding methanotroph-methylotroph consortium NC52PC significantly reduced methane emissions in Korean beef cattle without any adverse effects on animal health. These findings suggest that this probiotic could serve as a promising feed additive to effectively mitigate methane emissions from ruminants. However, further research is needed to evaluate the long-term effects of NC52PC on animal health, and on meat and milk quality.
