The Roles of Enzymes as Dietary Additives in Ruminant Diets: A Meta-Analysis.
Review in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Understanding the function of enzymes before their use as additives in ruminant diets is essential for achieving sustainable and efficient agricultural practices. Ruminants such as cattle, sheep, and goats are vital for global food production because of their ability to convert fibrous plant materials into high-quality proteins through enteric fermentation. Various datasets were carefully selected from four scientific databases: Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The rigorous Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) protocol was employed to ensure the eligibility of the selected articles used in the analysis. A systematic review showed that the administration of various types of enzymes can increase dry (DMD) and organic (OMD) matter, neutral (NDFD), and acid (ADFD) detergent fibre, and crude protein (CPD) digestibility in both in vitro and in vivo tests in individual studies. However, the pooled meta-analysis indicated that their overall effect on CPD was not significant (
