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

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of cellulase or Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) on the fermentation characteristics and microbial community structure of the sorghum straw silage. Sorghum straw was treated with the following four experimental conditions: distilled water (control, CK), cellulase (CEL), Lactobacillus plantarum (LP), and a combined treatment of Lactobacillus plantarum with cellulase (LPCEL). These results indicated that the LP treatment could markedly (p < 0.05) preserve the crude protein content compared to that in other treatments, whereas the CEL significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the acid detergent fiber content, while the LPCEL had the highest lactic acid content and lowest pH value. Proteobacteria and Pantoea were identified as the dominant phylum and genus in fresh materials, respectively. This phylum level dominance transitioned to Firmicutes post-treatment, while at the genus level, the community shifted from Pantoea to co-dominance of Lactobacillus and Prevotella, with Lactobacillus being the most abundant in both the CEL and LPCEL treatments. In conclusion, adding L. plantarum and cellulase to sorghum straw can significantly improve the fermentation quality of sorghum straw silage, and improve the nutritional value of silage by affecting the microbial community structure and metabolic pathways.
