1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The utilization of tannin as an enteric-methane reducing additive has received wide attention in ruminant nutrition research but its astringency and the binding to digestible nutrients remain a major limitation. Encapsulation of tannin could mask the bitter taste while also delivering a controlled release of the bioactive into the rumen with ameliorated impact on feed intake and nutrient digestibility. This research aimed at evaluating the influence of encapsulating mimosa tannin with sunflower oil, and different inclusion levels into a substrate, on in vitro gas, methane, and organic matter digestibility, as well as rumen ammonia and volatile fatty acid concentration. The encapsulation process was done using solid-in-oil-in-water method. A dose comparison of the unencapsulated at 20 g/kg DM was compared with the encapsulated at 10-30 g/kg DM (EMTS
