Effect of Butyric Salt Supplementations, as Metabiotics, on Rumen Functions in Pre-Weaned Dairy Calves.

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
Rumen development is critical for optimal growth, feed efficiency and health in pre-weaned dairy calves. Butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid produced in the rumen, has been shown to stimulate epithelial development and modulate immune responses. This study evaluated the effects of butyric salt supplementations, as metabiotics, on rumen morphometry and investigated the potential associations with feed intake, growth performance and health indicators in pre-weaned dairy calves. Thirty calves were randomized into three groups: controls (G1), 25 g (G2) or 50 g (G3) sodium butyrate from birth until weaning. The gross and histological rumen morphometry, dry matter intake, growth performance, complete blood count, total protein determination and fecal (oo)cyst counts for
