Effects of dietary supplementation with hydroponic wheat seedlings on rumen fermentation, meat quality, amino acid and fatty acid contents, and rumen bacterial diversity in sheep.

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
Hydroponic wheat seedlings-produced by cultivating wheat seeds in water for seven days-represent a sustainable feed resource for modern livestock farming. Rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds, this innovative fodder exhibits excellent palatability and digestibility, potentially enhancing livestock productivity. This study evaluated the effects of replacing part of the basal diet with hydroponic wheat seedlings (HWS) on ruminal fermentation, bacterial diversity, slaughter performance, and meat quality in finishing Hu sheep. The experiment followed a completely randomized design with fifty healthy 4-month-old Hu ram lambs (27.93 ± 2.16 kg) randomly allocated to five dietary treatments: a control group (CON) fed a basal diet and four experimental groups in which 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of the basal diet (dry matter basis) was replaced with HWS (denoted as T5, T10, T15, and T20, respectively). The experiment lasted for 70 days. Days 1-10 were the adaptation period, days 11-70 were the test period. Rumen fluid analysis revealed increased ammonia nitrogen (NH
