1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 intestine is not only the primary site for nutrient digestion and absorption but also a key defensive organ in animals. An intact intestinal barrier prevents the translocation of antigens, toxins, and pathogens, ensuring animal health. High-concentrate fattening is a common strategy in lamb farming to achieve maximum production performance and economic benefits. However, consuming high-concentrate diets for an extended period of time can damage the intestines of lambs. Plant extracts, characterized by their immunoregulatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties, have emerged as potential agents for improving intestinal health. This review comprehensively analyzes the impacts of high-concentrate diets on lamb gut health and systematically summarizes the roles of plant extracts in enhancing intestinal barrier function, and briefly discusses their possible mechanisms of action, aiming to offer scientific support for the rational utilization of plant extracts in the lambs industry.
