Mechanisms by which phytogenic extracts enhance livestock reproductive health: current insights and future directions.
Review in Frontiers in veterinary science, 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 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Reproductive health is a critical determinant of livestock productivity and economic sustainability. However, it is often compromised by infectious diseases, environmental stressors, and nutritional deficits. Phytogenic extracts-bioactive compounds derived from medicinal plants-have emerged as sustainable alternatives to synthetic antibiotics and hormones, exhibiting antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties. These extracts influence key reproductive processes such as follicular development, oocyte maturation, and endometrial health while mitigating the detrimental effects of oxidative stress and pathogenic infections. Recent findings suggest that phytogenic extract can enhance reproductive performance, improve oocyte quality, and support pregnancy outcomes. Despite the growing body of evidence, optimal application strategies and the full breadth of their biological effects remain insufficiently explored. This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms modulated by phytogenic extracts, particularly in the context of hormone regulation, immune modulation, and oxidative stress mitigation. We also identify critical knowledge gaps and propose future research directions to optimize the use of phytogenic extracts as a sustainable approach to enhancing livestock reproductive health.
