Impact of rumen microbiome on cattle carcass traits.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Rumen microbes are crucial in the anaerobic fermentation of plant polysaccharides to produce volatile fatty acids. However, limited information exists about the specific microbial species and strains in the rumen that affect carcass traits, and it is unclear whether there is a relationship between rumen metabolic functions and these traits. This study investigated the relationship between the rumen microbiome and carcass traits in beef cattle using 16S rRNA amplicon and shotgun sequencing. Metagenomic sequencing was used to compare the rumen microbiome between high-carcass weight (HW) and low-carcass weight (LW) cattle, and high-marbling (HM) and low-marbling (LM) cattle. Prokaryotic communities in the rumen of HW vs. LW and HM vs. LM were separated using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. Notably, shotgun metagenomic sequencing revealed that HW cattle had more methane-producing bacteria and ciliate protozoa, suggesting higher methane emissions. Additionally, variations were observed in the abundances of certain glycoside hydrolases and polysaccharide lyases involved in the ruminal degradation of plant polysaccharides between HW and LW. From our metagenome dataset, 807 non-redundant metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of medium to high quality were obtained. Among these, 309 and 113 MAGs were associated with carcass weight and marbling, respectively.
