Rumen acidosis in ruminants: a review of the effects of high-concentrate diets and the potential modulatory role of rumen foam.
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. Cited by 20 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
This review delves into the intricate processes by which high concentrate diets (HCD) in ruminants trigger rumen acidosis, with particular attention to the initiating factors of the condition and the pivotal role of rumen foams in its progression. High concentrate diets lead to an excessive accumulation of acids within the rumen, creating a favorable environment for the formation of rumen foam. This foam exacerbates the severity of rumen acidosis, making it a more challenging condition to manage. Additionally, HCD significantly diminishes salivary secretion, which not only increases the viscosity of rumen contents but also hampers the absorption of volatile fatty acids and the release of carbon dioxide (CO₂). Moreover, the review highlights a previously underexplored mechanism: the build-up of CO₂ may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of rumen acidosis. This oversight could have significant implications for understanding the onset and advancement of the condition. In essence, this paper seeks to establish a robust scientific framework to optimize ruminant nutrition and production practices, ultimately ensuring the health and well-being of these animals.
