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

Mongolian cattle exhibit exceptional roughage tolerance due to their rumen microbiome's robust fiber-degrading capacity, enabling efficient utilization of low-quality forage under the Mongolian Plateau's seasonal fluctuations. This study compared rumen microbial composition, CAZyme profiles, fermentation parameters, and metabolic pathways in cattle fed fresh grass (FG) versus hay to elucidate microbe-metabolite interactions underlying fiber digestion. Thirty non-pregnant female Mongolian cattle (460 ± 35 kg, 3-4 years old) were randomly divided into two groups (
