Effects of quadric probiotic blends on rumen fermentation, nutrient degradability, and methane emission in sheep: an in vitro study.
Article in AMB Express, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The considerable contribution of ruminant livestock to methane emissions has become a major global concern in recent years. Although dietary approaches for reducing ruminant methane emissions have been explored, the sustainable potential of probiotics to influence rumen function and lower methane production has increasingly attracted research attention. While previous studies have focused on single or dual-strain probiotics, this study is among the first to evaluate the synergistic effects of quadric-strain formulations. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of multi-strain probiotic blends, each at two distinct concentrations on rumen fermentation, nutrient degradability, and methane emission in sheep using an in vitro gas production technique following a completely randomized design. The basal diet with no probiotic supplements served as a control, while the supplemented bacterial combinations were Bacillus licheniformis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. bulgaricus, and Bifidobacterium bifidum (ABLB; at a ratio of 1:1:1:1) at levels of 2 × 10
