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

Microalgae modulate the gastrointestinal microbiota of ruminants and enhance lipid metabolism-a process associated with improved meat quality. Specifically, microalgae influence lipid metabolism by altering gastrointestinal microorganisms, thereby augmenting immune function and upregulating gene expression associated with lipid metabolism. Additionally, microalgae and their nutrients influence lipid metabolism through the gastrointestinal tract-brain axis, which encompasses the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, the autonomic nervous system (ANS), and neuroendocrine system (NES) functions. This review systematically synthesizes the biotransformation processes and metabolic pathways of microalgae-derived bioactive compounds within the gastrointestinal microbiota of ruminants. Elucidating the direct and indirect effects of gut microbiota members on lipid metabolism and identifying microbial markers and targeted intervention strategies remain scientifically challenging endeavors, given the complexity of the microbial community.
