Effect of tannins and cellulase on growth performance, nutrients digestibility, blood profiles, intestinal morphology and carcass characteristics in Hu sheep.
Article in Asian-Australasian journal of animal sciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of tannins and cellulase on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, blood profiles, intestinal morphology and carcass characteristics in Hu sheep. Methods: A total of 48 three-month-old meat Hu sheep (25.05 ± 0.9 kg) were blocked based on body weight, and randomly allotted to 4 treatments with 3 replicates of 4 sheep each. The experiment lasted for 80 d, and dietary treatments were as follows: (1) CON, control diet; (2) TAN, CON + 0.1% tannins; (3) CEL, CON + 0.1% cellulase; (4) TAN+ CEL, CON + 0.1% tannins and 0.1% cellulase. Results: Compared with CON, CEL and TAN+CEL had greater (P<0.05) final birth weight (FBW) and average daily gain but lower (P<0.05) F/G, while FBW of TAN+CEL was lower (P<0.05) than that of CEL. The apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of DM in TAN, CEL and TAN+CEL groups were higher (P<0.05) than that in CON. CEL and TAN+CEL groups had greater (P<0.05) ATTD of CF compared with TAN and CON, while TAN group had lower (P<0.05) ATTD of CP than other treatments. TAN, CEL and TAN+CEL groups increased (P<0.05) serum globulin and alkaline phosphatase but decreased (P<0.05) A/G. Serum total protein was greatest for TAN+CEL, intermediate for TAN and CEL and least for CON (P<0.05). TAN+CEL group increased (P<0.05) dressing percentage compared with CON, while the backfat thickness of CEL was lower (P<0.05) than that of CON. The villus height of jejunum and ileum in CEL and TAN+CEL groups were greater (P<0.05) than that in CON, and the crypt depth and villus height: crypt depth of jejunum were increased (P<0.05) in TAN, CEL and TAN+CEL groups. Conclusion: The addition of tannins and cellulase together promoted nutrient digestion, liver protein synthesis and intestinal development and thus improved growth performance and carcass characteristics.
