Chicory modulates the rumen environment in lambs with endoparasites.
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 1 paper.
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 most natural areas typically host a variety of plant species that serve as nutritional centers for grazing ruminants. We aimed to determine the growth parameters, histology, and ruminal microbial characteristics of lambs with endoparasites grazing on meadow pasture with experimentally sown chicory (Cichorium intybus). Lambs infected with the larvae of the endoparasite Haemonchus contortus were divided into two groups: lambs grazing in the meadow grassland plot (CON) and lambs grazing in the experimental plot recultivated with chicory (CHIC). Similar initial weights of lambs of both groups up to D62 post-infection increased from D89 to D144 in the CHIC group. The ruminal concentration of ammonia nitrogen (P = 0.007), the relative abundance of Streptococcus bovis (P < 0.05), and the enzymatic activities of amylase (P = 0.008) and xylanase (P = 0.049) were higher in the CHIC group than in the CON group. Morphological observation of ruminal tissue revealed histological changes (e.g., tissue edema, organisms with Balantidium coli morphology) in all lambs. Self-medication of grazing lambs improved the nutrition and well-being of the animals, but beneficial feeding values of the chicory increased the efficiency of nutrient use and improved the production indicators of the infected lambs.
