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

Livestock feces contribute to approximately 32% of global methane emissions. Although ruminants are generally believed to have a higher methane production potential than non-ruminants, the dominant pathways and key regulatory processes underlying methane generation in ruminants remain poorly understood, impeding effective manure management and accurate livestock emission assessments. In this study, metagenomic and carbon isotope techniques were employed to investigate methane production potential and key pathways in sheep, pig, chicken, and duck feces. Methane production potential of ruminant sheep feces was significantly higher (approximately threefold) compared to that of non-ruminants. Isotopic analysis of methane sources revealed that sheep feces primarily produce methane through the acetoclastic pathway, whereas the other three likely rely on CO
