Effect of adding citrus flavonoid (Bioflavex) to diet on growth, feed efficiency, rumen histomorphology, carcass traits and meat quality of lambs.
Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Citrus flavonoids (Bioflavex) are plant polyphenols with antioxidant properties that can have a positive effect on growth, rumen health, carcass characteristics and meat quality in ruminants. In this study, the effects of adding citrus flavonoids to the diet on growth performance, feed efficiency, rumen morphology, carcass characteristics, and meat quality of Awassi lambs were investigated. Thirty-six male lambs (27.36 ± 0.025 kg initial body weight) at 14 weeks of age were individually allocated to 3 dietary treatments (T1 = basal diet without any additives, T2 = basal diet with 0.4 g Bioflavex/kg diet dry matter and T3 = basal diet with 0.8 g Bioflavex/kg diet dry matter) with 12 lambs as replicates per treatment in a completely randomized design. Performance was evaluated, including body weight, weight gain, growth rate and feed conversion ratio over 56 days. At the end of the study, all lambs were slaughtered to measure rumen histomorphology and carcass and meat characteristics. The results showed that T2 and T3 had higher growth indicators, carcass weights of hot and cold and better feed conversion than T1 (
