Understanding the role of rumen epithelial host-microbe interactions in cattle feed efficiency.
Review in Animal nutrition (Zhongguo xu mu shou yi xue hui), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 61 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
Feed efficiency is one of the economically important traits for the cattle industry that affects profit (feed costs) and the environment (production of manure and methane). Due to that feed efficiency is driven by multi-factors, mechanisms contributing to the animal to animal variation in this trait have not been well defined, limiting the development of precision feeding strategies to improve the herd production efficiency. Rumen microbial fermentation and volatile fatty acids (VFA) production have been recently reported to be associated with cattle feed efficiency, however the roles of rumen epithelial function in feed efficiency are less studied although the rumen epithelium has an important function in VFA absorption and metabolism which can affect host feed efficiency. Rumen epithelium is colonized with a diverse microbial population, termed epimural microbiota, which has proposed functions in tissue development, barrier and inflammation, urea transport, and oxygen scavenging, suggesting that they can affect rumen epithelial functions and subsequently cattle feed efficiency. Especially, prospective functions of epimural microbiota, enhanced rumen immunity and increased rumen epithelial thickness, might contribute to less nutritional requirement for tissue recuperation. Thus, the understanding of the functions of rumen epithelium, epimural microbiota, and rumen epithelial host-microbe interactions is essential to identify their roles in contributing to feed efficiency. In this review, we will focus on to date research findings on the structure of rumen epithelium, epimural microbiota, and epithelial host-microbe interactions together with their functions and how these are associated with feed efficiency, aiming to provide insights on future directions to study rumen epithelial host-microbe interactions and improve the rumen functions in cattle.
