2-Hydroxy-4-(Methylthio) Butanoic Acid Isopropyl Ester Supplementation Altered Ruminal and Cecal Bacterial Composition and Improved Growth Performance of Finishing Beef Cattle.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of isopropyl ester of 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio)-butyrate acid (HMBi) on ruminal and cecal fermentation, microbial composition, nutrient digestibility, plasma biochemical parameters, and growth performance in finishing beef cattle. The experiment was conducted for 120 days by a complete randomized block design. Sixty 24-month-old Angus steers (723.9 ± 11.6 kg) were randomly assigned to one of the flowing three treatments: basal diet (the concentrate: 7.6 kg/head·d
