Effects of Dietary Rumen-Protected Glucose and Rumen-Protected Taurine Levels on Growth Performance, Serum Biochemical Indicators, and Liver Health in Yaks.
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. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 7 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
Yaks are an important livestock species on the Tibetan Plateau, but traditional grazing practices cause a sharp drop in their weight during winter, leading to grassland degradation due to overgrazing. Although off-site fattening can improve performance and protect ecology, it often leads to a negative energy balance, liver metabolism disorders, and immune impairment due to stress. However, the effects of rumen-protected glucose (RPG) and rumen-protected taurine (RPT) on yak liver health are not yet clear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary RPG and RPT levels on the growth performance, serum biochemical parameters, liver antioxidant capacity, and immunity of yaks. Twenty-eight healthy yaks weighing 170 ± 10.4 kg were randomly divided into four treatments: LGLT (RPG: 1%-low RPG [LG]; RPT: 5 g/d-low RPT [LT]), LGHT (RPG: 1%-low RPG [LG]; RPT: 20 g/d-high RPT [HT]), HGLT (RPG: 3%-high RPG [HG]; RPT: 5 g/d-low RPT [LT]), and HGHT (RPG: 3%-high RPG [HG]; RPT: 20 g/d-high RPT [HT]). The results showed that compared with the LTHT treatment group, the HGHT group upregulated the serum concentrations of glucose (
