Methionine and its derivatives in dairy cow nutrition: implications for intestinal barrier function, periparturient performance, and metabolic health.
Review in Frontiers in veterinary science, 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 increasing demand for high-quality protein products has driven substantial progress in dairy cow nutrition, with a focus on optimizing amino acid supply to enhance productivity and health. Methionine (Met), a key essential amino acid, plays multifaceted roles in supporting growth, lactation, and reproduction, as well as maintaining metabolic and immune homeostasis in ruminants. Recent evidence highlights the regulatory potential of dietary Met-particularly in its rumen-protected form (RPM)-on intestinal integrity and systemic metabolic function in dairy cows. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of the molecular properties and functional roles of Met and its derivatives in ruminant physiology. We evaluate current research on Met's influence on the microbial, chemical, mechanical, and immunological components of the intestinal barrier, as well as its effects on milk synthesis, reproductive performance, and metabolic modulation during the periparturient period. While the benefits of Met supplementation are well-recognized, critical knowledge gaps remain regarding its mechanisms of action, interactions with gut microbiota, optimal dosing strategies, individual variability in response, and long-term outcomes across lactations. To address these gaps, future studies should adopt integrative multi-omics and microbiota-metabolite profiling approaches, develop precision nutrition models, and explore synergistic interactions with other nutrients. Advancing our understanding of Met's roles in dairy cow nutrition will support the development of targeted supplementation strategies aimed at improving gastrointestinal health, reproductive efficiency, and overall productivity in commercial dairy systems.
