Effects of honeysuckle vine powder on growth, immune performance, and gastrointestinal microbiota structure of Nanjiang Yellow goats.

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
Introduction: Chinese herbal medicines, including honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), exhibit diverse beneficial properties and are increasingly being explored as feed additives in livestock production to improve animal health and product quality. This study investigates the effects of honeysuckle vine powder (HVP) supplementation as an herbal feed additive on growth performance, immune function, and rumengut microbiota in Nanjiang Yellow goats during fattening. Methods: We evaluated four dietary groups: control (basal diet) and three experimental groups supplemented with 1% (EG1), 1.5% (EG2), and 2% HVP (EG3) for 60 days. After sampling, we measured the blood biochemical, immune indicators and carried out 16s RNA sequencing of rumen and gut microbiota for Nanjiang Yellow goat samples. Results: We evaluated four dietary groups: control (basal diet) and three experimental groups supplemented with 1% (EG1), 1.5% (EG2), and 2% HVP (EG3) for 60 days. Results demonstrated that 2% HVP significantly enhanced, average daily gain (ΔADG = 0.05 ± 0.02 /kg, Discussion: These findings validate HVP as a sustainable feed additive that optimizes productivity and immune resilience through microbiota-host crosstalk, supporting its application in ecofriendly livestock farming.
