Rumen microbiota regulates IMF deposition in Xizang sheep by activating the
Article in mSystems, 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
The interaction between microbiota and muscle by the rumen-muscle axis and its impact on sheep meat flavor has received little attention. This study selected Xizang sheep under summer and autumn grazing conditions as models for different rumen bacteria and intramuscular fat (IMF) to attempt to address the current research gap. Specifically, the deposition characteristics of IMF and the expression of lipid metabolism genes in Xizang sheep were determined; 16S rDNA sequencing technology and gas chromatography were used to study the rumen microbiota and its metabolic products, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs); RNA sequencing was used to identify the transcriptome of the rumen epithelium. Based on the above results, we proposed the hypothesis that the flavor of Xizang sheep meat is regulated by the microbiota-rumen-muscle axis. SCFAs produced in the rumen of Xizang sheep are absorbed by the rumen epithelium under the regulation of the solute carrier family genes (
