Forage maize type influences on methane emissions, nutrient degradation, and fermentation profiles in ruminants.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 selection of forage maize (Zea mays L.) cultivars significantly impacts ruminant nutrition and environmental sustainability. This study evaluated four maize types (TWC647, SC704, D5, and a SC704 + D5 mixture) for their effects on methane emissions, nutrient degradability, and rumen fermentation using in vitro techniques. SC704 exhibited the highest gas production (236.8 ml/g DM), metabolizable energy (5.17 MJ/kg DM), and net energy for lactation (2.64 MJ/kg DM). TWC647 showed the highest degradability of dry matter, crude protein, and NDF. The SC704 + D5 mixture enhanced volatile fatty acid production but also resulted in the highest methane emissions (71.5 l/kg FOM). These findings emphasize the importance of cultivar selection in optimizing fermentation efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
