Methionine Alters the Fecal Microbiota and Enhances the Antioxidant Capacity of Lactating Donkeys.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 looked at how methionine (Met) affects on serum biochemical indicators, antioxidant indicators, and the fecal microbiota of lactating donkeys. A total of 18 healthy donkeys at the mid-lactation stage were used in this study. They were given concentrate meals with varying concentrations of Met after being randomly split into three groups: Met group I (M1) received 5 g/d of Met, Met group II (M2) received 15 g/d of Met, and the control group (C) received 0 g/d of Met. The trial lasted for five weeks in total. Fecal microbes, antioxidant markers, and blood biochemical indicators were examined. The findings showed that while the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) decreased (
