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

Optimizing the dietary nitrogen-to-sulfur (N:S) ratio is crucial for enhancing ruminal microbial fermentation and nutrient digestibility. This study investigated the effects of different dietary N:S ratios on ruminal antioxidant indices, digestive enzyme activities, immune parameters, volatile fatty acid (VFA) profiles, microbial communities, and metabolomic profiles in plateau-type Tibetan sheep. Ninety 2-month-old male Tibetan sheep (initial body weight, 15.55 ± 0.20 kg) were randomly assigned to three dietary treatments formulated with N:S ratios of 9.5:1 (HP-H), 8.5:1 (HP-M), and 7.5:1 (HP-L). Sheep fed the HP-H diet exhibited improved ruminal antioxidant indices compared with the other treatments, with CAT and T-AOC activities being higher than those of both the HP-M and HP-L groups, while SOD and GSH-Px activities were significantly higher only compared with those in the HP-L
