Green propolis extract derived from Mimosa tenuiflora as an additive in the diet of sheep.
Article in Tropical animal health and production, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 evaluate the effect of increasing doses (0, 6, 12, 18, and 24 mL/day) of green propolis extract (GPE) on intake, apparent digestibility, ingestive behavior, water balance, ruminal parameters, hematology, serum biochemistry, and nitrogen balance in feedlot sheep. We used five castrated male sheep, ½ Dorper x ½ Santa Inês, with a mean age of 26 months and weight of 47.94 ± 4.73 kg. The increase in GPE levels did not influence (P > 0.05) the intake and apparent digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, and neutral detergent fiber in sheep. Feeding, rumination, and leisure time were not influenced (P > 0.05) by the increase in the GPE supplied to sheep. The pH (6.14 ± 0.25) and ruminal ammonia nitrogen (8.27 mg/dL) values were also not influenced (P > 0.05) by increasing doses of GPE. The water absorbed and nitrogen retained by the sheep were also not influenced (P > 0.05) by the increase in the GPE supplied. Serum biochemistry was not influenced (P > 0.05). However, the concentrations of eosinophils and monocytes were altered (P < 0.05) by the supply of GPE to sheep. The supply of up to 24 mL/day of GPE does not interfere with intake, apparent digestibility, ingestive behavior, water balance, and nitrogen balance of feedlot sheep. Still, it influences the immune response and liver activity of animals.
