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

objectiveTropical plants are composed of phytonutrients (PTNs) and are utilized for their capacity to manipulate rumen fermentation characteristics and methane production. The aim of this experiment was to determine the impact of microencapsulated PTNs-extracted from lemongrass and mangosteen peel (M-LEMANGOS), as well as crude protein (CP) levels on nutrient degradability, rumen ecology, microbial population, and methane emission in an in vitro study.

methodsThe treatments were randomly assigned in a 2×4 Factorial arrangement in a completely randomized design. The two factors consisted of CP percentage in the concentrate diet (16% and 18% CP) and the levels of M-LEMANGOS addition (0%, 2%, 4%, and 6% of the total substrate).

resultsThe results showed that nutrient degradability both 12 and 24 h were significantly increased with M-LEMANGOS at 4% total substate. In part of volatile fatty acids (VFAs), particularly propionate and total VFA, these were enhanced by %CP and M-LEMANGOS combination. The %CP increased ruminal ammonia-nitrogen concentration (NH3-N), while M-LEMANGOS supplementation reduced such concentration. Methane production and Methanobacteriales population at 12 and 24 h were reduced when supplemented with M-LEMANGOS at 4% total substate. The population of Fibrobacter succinogenes, Ruminococcus flavefaciens, and Megasphaera elsdenii were increased with the interaction between %CP and M-LEMANGOS addition.

conclusionM-LEMANGOS indicates promising potential as a plant-based PTN for dietary modulation of rumen fermentation and mitigation of methane production.
