Effects of increasing levels of rubber seed cake on growth performance, nutrient digestion metabolism, serum biochemical parameters, and rumen microbiota of Hu sheep.
Article in BMC veterinary research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
This study aimed to reveal the effects of increasing levels of rubber seed cake (RSC) on growth performance, nutrient digestion metabolism, serum biochemical parameters, and rumen microbiota in Hu sheep. In this study, 48 Hu sheep, weighing 17.01 ± 0.57 kg at 3 months of age, were randomly divided into four treatments: 0% rubber seed cake (RSC0%), 6% rubber seed cake (RSC6%), 12% rubber seed cake (RSC12%) and 18% rubber seed cake (RSC18%), with 12 sheep per group. Compared to the RSC0%, the ADG and DMI of the RSC6% and RSC12% were increased (P > 0.05). The apparent digestibility of OM and EE quadratically (P < 0.05) changed with the increase of RSC supplementation, with the greatest apparent digestibility of OM and EE observed in the RSC6% diet. With increased RSC supplementation, the N intake and fecal N increased linearly (P < 0.05), and the apparent digestibility of N reduced linearly (P < 0.05). As the increase of RSC supplementation, the serum levels of IgA, IgM, IgG, IL-4, T-AOC, and GSH-Px increased linearly (P < 0.05), and the serum level of IL-6 reduced linearly (P < 0.05). The serum level of IL-1β reduced quadratically (P < 0.05) with the increased RSC dose, and the serum level of SOD increased quadratically (P < 0.05) with the increased RSC dose. The ruminal NH
