1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Enteric greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions represent a major challenge in livestock production, contributing significantly to global methane output. Various strategies have been explored to mitigate these emissions, including dietary modifications, feed additives, and genetic improvements. In the present study, the focus was on onion peel (OP), a byproduct of the onion processing industry that has shown promise as a natural feed supplement with potential methane-reducing properties. We evaluated the effect of different inclusion levels of OP at 2.5% (OP2.5), 5% (OP5), 7.5% (OP7.5), and 10% (OP10) on the in vitro fermentation of two diets: a total mixed ration referred to as high concentrate (HC), and corn silage referred to as high forage (HF). A 48 h batch culture experiment using a 2 × 3 × 5 factorial arrangement was conducted to assess total gas production (GP), methane (CH
