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

backgroundYeast enzyme hydrolysis slurry (YS) has the potential to optimize feed utilization efficiency and improve the health of farmed animals, as it contains abundant bioactive components like small-molecule peptides and amino acids. However, its function and application effects in juvenile largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) are unclear.

methodsThree hundred and twenty largemouth bass (8.20 ± 0.05 g) were randomly divided into four groups (4 replicates of 20 fish). Four isonitrogenous (52%) and isolipidic (10%) diets were formulated: FM group (positive control), SBM group (soybean meal replaced 30% of fish meal protein, negative control), and the SBM group supplemented with 1% YS (SBM + 1% YS) and 2% YS (SBM + 2% YS), respectively. After a 56-day feeding period, the fish were assessed for growth, intestinal health, and metabolic regulation-related indices.

resultsOur study found that weight gain rate (P = 0.032) and specific growth rate (P = 0.030) in the SBM + 1% YS and SBM + 2% YS groups were significantly higher than those in the SBM group. Relative to the SBM group, YS-supplemented groups exhibited marked elevations in intestinal folds, goblet cell numbers, serum acid and alkaline phosphatase activities, catalase and superoxide dismutase activities, as well as the activities of key digestive enzymes (lipase, α-amylase, pepsin, chymotrypsin), accompanied by downregulated mRNA expression of anorexigenic genes cholecystokinin and leptin. Meanwhile, these groups showed significantly lower serum D-lactate, diamine oxidase, lipopolysaccharide levels and malondialdehyde content. The abundance of beneficial genus Cetobacterium increased while the abundance of pathogenic genus Edwardsiella (P = 0.0265) significantly reduced in SBM + 1% YS and SBM comparison groups. Metabolomics analysis revealed that protein digestion and absorption (P = 0.0041), and amino acid metabolism pathways (P = 0.0052) were significantly enriched in the comparison between SBM + 1%YS and SBM groups. Correlation analysis further indicated that differential metabolites such as arginine and methionine exhibite a strong negative association with Edwardsiella.

conclusionYeast enzyme hydrolysis slurry in soybean meal-based diets with partial fishmeal replacement enhanced the antioxidant capacity, reduced intestinal permeability, altered the abundances of intestinal microbiota and associated core metabolites. These positive changes collectively contributed to improved growth performance in largemouth bass.
