The Effect of Increasing the Proportion of Dietary Roughage Based on the Partial Replacement of Low-Quality Roughage with Alfalfa Hay on the Fatty Acid Profile of Donkey Milk.

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
As a lactation source, donkey milk contains a higher percentage of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the milk fatty acid profile than cow's milk, especially the percentage of α-linolenic acid (ALA). We hypothesized that the ratio of dietary concentrate/roughage could influence the composition of the fatty acid (FA) profile of donkey milk, and that the substitution of low-quality roughage with high-quality roughage could improve the composition of the polyunsaturated fatty acid profile of donkey milk. The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effects of the partial dietary replacement of low-quality roughage with alfalfa hay to increase the proportion of roughage in the diet on the FA profiles in the milk of lactating donkeys, with the goal of optimizing the FA profiles of donkey milk. The trial design was a single-factor randomized design. Sixteen Dezhou donkeys of similar age, weight, parity, and lactation days were selected and equally divided (
