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

This study investigated the impact of varying dietary protein-energy ratios on the intestinal microbiota composition in postpartum weaned female yak. For this study, forty yaks were divided into four groups and provided with different dietary treatments (group FA: high-energy high-protein, FB: high-energy low-protein, FC: low-energy high-protein, and FD: control group, provided with 48% alfalfa hay, 48% oat grass, and 4% premix) to investigate the variations in microflora profiles and metabolic responses. Rectal fecal samples (n = 24 × 2) were collected at day 15 and 30, from all four groups, and total DNA was extracted to estimate microbial heterogeneity and community structures by 16S rRNA sequencing focusing V3-V4 regions, using the Illumina Nova Seq 6000 platform. The results revealed a total of 5,669,645 raw data sequences (3,189,115 and 2,480,530 from day 15 and day 30, respectively). Results showed that groups FA and FB had enhanced protein metabolism and microbial diversity, which was marked by a significant increase (
