Taxonomic and functional shifts in the rumen microbiome of buffalo calves under long-term strategic supplementation of phyto-feed additives.

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
Introduction: The present study aimed to understand the shift in the rumen microbiome of buffaloes fed diets with and without phyto-additives. The rationale was based on the hypothesis that plant-based additives can modulate the microbial population in the rumen, potentially reducing methane production and enhancing fiber degradation. Given the possibility that prolonged use of the same additives may lead to microbial adaptation and diminished efficacy, the study also investigated the effects of periodically switching additives. Methods: Three male buffalo calves were fed a control diet, while another three received additive-supplemented diets. Two additive formulations were used: FAI (a blend of garlic Results: Metagenomic analysis revealed that dominant bacterial phyla included Discussion: The inclusion of phyto-additives in the buffalo diet influenced the rumen microbiome composition by reducing methanogen populations, particularly
