The Role of Microbes in Ensiling.
Review in Microorganisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Ensiling is the microbial processing of forage, based on the fermentation of plant sap that acidifies the silage to pH < 5. This acidity threshold prevents microbial activity that could otherwise produce inhibitory, toxic, malodorous or otherwise undesired metabolites. Anaerobic conditions are key to silage production and storage in silos because aerobic exposure would change the microbiota to counterproductive metabolism. This review outlines the principal microbial groups involved in the open ensiling process and discusses some additive effects with externally added compounds that have been used in this industry to enhance anaerobiosis, lactic acid fermentation, preservation, and safe storage. The ensiling process and the type of forage in the silage may impact methanogenesis in ruminants, and additional effects on ruminal digestion have also been reported.
