Estimation of total-tract starch digestibility using fecal starch concentration in fattening Japanese Black cattle.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Fattening Japanese Black cattle (Wagyu), renowned for producing marbled beef, derive essential energy from starch. While fecal starch concentration (FSC) can estimate total-tract starch digestibility (TTSD), equations developed for other beef production systems may not suit highly marbled beef production. This study developed a specific equation for estimating TTSD from FSC in Japanese Black cattle and compared it with data from other breed's production systems. Experiments with 49 Japanese Black cattle across four farms yielded 116 TTSD measurements. A database from 41 published studies on other cattle breeds (190 treatment groups, 2343 animals) was also analyzed. The Japanese Black cattle-specific equation (TTSD, % = 99.7 - 0.85 × FSC, %DM; R
