Effects of BCAA supplementation on plasma and mare's milk amino acid contents in
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 3 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
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) play a crucial role in regulating nutritional metabolism in lactating animals. However, limited research has been conducted on BCAAs in equines. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different doses of BCAA supplementation on plasma and milk amino acid profiles in Yili mares, as well as the growth performance of their suckling foals, thereby providing a scientific basis for optimizing feeding management practices. Eighteen pairs of Yili mares and their sucklings were randomly assigned to four groups: a control group (Group D, no BCAA supplementation) and three experimental groups (S1, S2, and S3, receiving 38 g/day, 76 g/day, and 114 g/day of BCAA supplementation, respectively). The trial lasted for 67 days. The concentrations of 22 amino acids in plasma and milk were quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and their correlations with the body height, length, and weight of the foals were analyzed using SPSS software (one-way analysis of variance and Pearson correlation test). In mare plasma amino acids, the serine (Ser) content in group S1 was significantly higher than that in group D (
