Advancements in the Research and Application of Whole-Plant Maize Silage for Feeding Purposes.
Review in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 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
This paper offers an exhaustive review of various pivotal aspects of forage whole-plant maize silage. It commences with an exploration of the foundational elements of planting, including the growing environment, variety selection, planting techniques, management practices, and harvesting considerations. The paper assesses the nutritional value of maize silage, its effects on animal health, and its current applications in livestock farming. Additionally, it elucidates the principles of fermentation, pathogen control, and the impact of fermentation technology on silage quality. The paper also discusses utilization strategies and technological advancements. A historical perspective is provided, alongside an analysis of current challenges, opportunities, and the global market positioning of maize silage. Furthermore, the paper delves into future prospects by addressing sustainable development strategies, adaptation to climate change, and ethical and economic controversies. The primary aim is to serve as a comprehensive reference for further research, production practices, and industrial chain development in the domain of forage whole-plant maize silage.
