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
This study aimed to investigate the effects of rumen-protected methionine (RPM) on the production performance of lactating dairy goats. Thirty first-time lactating Guanzhong dairy goats with identical kidding dates and comparable body weights (41.17 ± 3.05 kg) were randomly assigned to two groups: (1) CON: basal diet and (2) RPM: basal diet + 7.5 g/day RPM. The duration of the experiment was 21 days. Compared with the CON group, the RPM group presented a significant increase in milk yield, 4% fat-corrected milk (FCM), and feed efficiency; however, no significant difference was observed in dry feed intake (DMI). Moreover, milk fat, protein, lactose, and SNF production was greater in the PRM group than in the CON group. Compared with the CON group, the RPM group presented higher nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels, and no significant differences in the other metabolites were detected. The concentrations of acetate, propionate, and total volatile fatty acids (TVFAs) in the feces of the RPM group were significantly greater than those in the CON group; however, no significant differences were detected in the concentrations of isobutyrate, butyrate, and valerate. Furthermore, genera such as
