Effects of Yeast Culture on Lamb Growth Performance, Rumen Microbiota, and Metabolites.
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 13 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
The effects of incorporating yeast culture (YC) into pelleted feeds on sheep production and the potential impact on rumen microbial populations, microbial metabolism, and fermentation have not been extensively studied. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of YC on growth performance, rumen tissue development, rumen fermentation, and rumen microflora in sheep and to explore the potential microbial mechanisms involved. Fifty healthy 3-month-old male lambs of small-tailed Han sheep, with an average weight of 28.44 ± 0.63 kg, were randomly divided into five groups: control (0% YC), 3% YC, 6% YC, 9% YC, and 12% YC. The pre-feeding period lasted for 15 days, followed by an official feeding period of 60 days. On the last day of the formal feeding period, six lambs that exhibited the best growth performance were randomly selected from the control group and the 9% YC group. These sheep were slaughtered, then the rumen epithelial tissue and rumen contents were collected for the measurement of rumen fermentation, microbial populations, and metabolites. Compared to the control group, the YC-treated groups showed higher daily and final body weight gains, as well as increased levels of propionic acid, butyric acid, and total volatile fatty acids (
