Growth performance, carcass traits, and histological changes of goats supplemented with different sources of phytochemicals.
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 4 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
Phytogenic feed additives are increasingly used to improve animal health and productivity. This study compared the effect of supplementation with tannin to an herbal mixture consisting of ginger, garlic, artemisia, and turmeric on the performance, intestinal parasites, blood metabolites, carcass characteristics, and histology of muscles and intestine of goats. Twenty-seven Shami male goats were assigned to three treatments (n = 9): non-supplemented goats fed a control diet (CC); goats supplemented with 10g /animal/day of quebracho tannins as a source of condensed tannin (TT); and goats supplemented with 10g/animal/day of an herbal mixture (HM). All the animals received a basal diet consisted of concentrate feed mixture and alfalfa hay. The supplementation improved growth performance, nutrients digestibility, and serum immunoglobulins concentration (P < 0.05). The supplementation decreased fecal parasite counts, blood cholesterol, and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT) enzyme and improved blood glucose (P < 0.05). The supplementation decreased renal and meat fat, and group HM revealed higher polyunsaturated fatty acids and α-Linolenic acid in meat (P < 0.05). Tannin supplementation (TT group) negatively affected the histology of muscles and intestines. The results provide evidence for the beneficial use of an herbal mixture in the diet to improve animal performance, health status, and meat quality in goats.
