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
Reducing enteric methane emissions is critical for improving the sustainability of ruminant livestock production. In this study, we investigated the impact of the methane inhibitors 3-nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP) and canola oil, fed both individually and in combination, on the anaerobic gut fungi (AGF) of the rumen. Eight ruminally cannulated Angus heifers were used in a replicated double 4 × 4 Latin square over 28-day periods with a 2 (control, 3-NOP) × 2 (control, canola oil) factorial arrangement. Rumen samples were collected after 13 d dietary adaptation, and AGF communities were evaluated using amplicon sequencing of the D1/D2 region of the 28S rRNA (LSU) gene. Although 3-NOP reduced methane yield by approximately 32%, it did not substantially alter the diversity, composition, or overall abundance of the AGF community. In contrast, canola oil supplementation, either alone or combined with 3-NOP, markedly disrupted the fungal community. These treatments reduced overall fungal diversity and the abundance of key fiber-degrading taxa, such as
