Selecting high-yield forage sorghum genotypes for ensiling: agronomic traits, fermentation parameters, and nutritional value.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
This study aimed to evaluate agronomic traits of 18 forage sorghum genotypes (Sorghum bicolor L.) (14 experimental and four commercial ones), and select those most promisor for forage accumulation (Experiment 1). Concomitantly, the study aimed to assess fermentation, chemical composition, and rumen kinetics characteristics of seven of the 18 genotypes, being five experimental with high dry matter yield (DMY) and two commercial ones (Experiment 2). In Experiment 1, the highest DMY was observed in the experimental genotype 6 (25.1 t/ha), while the lowest was found in the commercial one 15 (9.8 t/ha). Tocher grouping analysis revealed six groups of genotypes and great genetic diversity among materials. In Experiment 2, silages displayed a pH value of 3.66, on average, with an aerobic stability of 127.4 h. Silages of experimental genotypes 3, 4, 10, and 14 yielded higher degradable dry matter per area (9.8 t/ha, on average). Genetic diversity identified in this study allows for selecting forage sorghum genotypes with high DMY and appropriate fermentation and nutritional parameters for ensiling. Experimental genotypes 3, 4, 10, and 14 enable producing silages with similar fermentation profiles to the commercial genotypes 16 and 18 but with more digestible nutrients per area.
