Enhancing growth performance in Liangshan black sheep through fermented onion: insights from transcriptomics and metabolomics.
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 5 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
The objective of this study was to assess the effect of fermented onion (FO) on the growth performance of Liangshan black sheep (LBS) and to elucidate its potential molecular mechanisms from a multi-omics perspective. A total of 20 LBS were randomly assigned to one of four groups and fed diets containing 0, 10, 20%, or 30% fermented onions, respectively. The initial and final body weights were recorded. Following the termination of the experiment, the control group and the group exhibiting the most significant increase in average daily gain (ADG) were selected for slaughter. Rumen epithelial tissue was then collected for transcriptome sequencing, while fermented and unfermented onions were collected for untargeted metabolomics. The study revealed that the supplementation of 20% FO led to a notable enhancement in the ADG of LBS, whereas the addition of 30% resulted in a growth-inhibitory effect. Metabolomic analysis revealed that the fermentation process markedly elevated the concentration of bioactive compounds in the onion, including quercetin, rutin, luteolin, myricetin, 4'-methoxyflavone and other flavonoids, as well as linoleic acid,
