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

objectiveThis research aims to explore the effects of incorporating Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation products (SCFP) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, antioxidant capacity, fecal short-chain fatty acids, and microbial composition of pre-weaning calves.

methodsTwenty Holstein calves, 10 days old and weighing an average of 48.63±0.91 kg, were randomly assigned to either the control group (CON) or the SCFP group, with 10 calves in each group. The CON group received only a basal diet, while the SCFP group received the starter diet supplemented with 5 g/head/d of SCFP products. The pre-trial period lasted for 5 days, followed by a main experimental period of 45 days.

resultsThe SCFP group had significantly higher final weight, average daily gain, and feed efficiency compared to the CON group (p<0.05). Moreover, the SCFP group exhibited increased apparent digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, acid detergent fiber, Ca, and P (p<0.05). Additionally, supplementation with SCFP led to elevated content of growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor-1, and glucagon-like peptide-1 in serum. The inclusion of SCFP also raised serum catalase content and reduced serum malondialdehyde content in pre-weaning calves. Furthermore, SCFP supplementation influenced the composition of intestinal microflora by decreasing Actinobacteriota abundance and increasing the abundance of Ruminococcus, Lachnospiraceae_AC2044_group, Parabacteroides, and Butyricimonas.

conclusionThe addition of SCFP has a positive impact on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, antioxidant capacity, and intestinal microflora composition of pre-weaning calves.
