Responses to increased dietary contents of non-structural carbohydrates in herbage-based diets for dairy cows: Between- and within-cow ruminal pH variation.

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
While dietary factors, especially high starch intake, are known to promote subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA), individual cows may differ markedly in their susceptibility and response - yet these inter- and intra-animal variations remain poorly understood, limiting targeted management. We investigated the effects of herbage-based diets with moderate (M-TNC) and high (H-TNC) levels of total non-structural carbohydrates (TNC) on ruminal fluid composition, pH, and performance of dairy cows, and their variation between and within animals. Three consecutive crossover experiments were conducted involving 14 animals. In experiments 1 and 3, cows were fed hay and concentrates (experiment 1: 23 (M-TNC) and 35 (H-TNC) % TNC; experiment 3: 18% and 36%). In Experiment 2, cows received either M-TNC (12% TNC) or H-TNC (23% TNC) fresh herbage without concentrate. The overall effects of the H-TNC diet were a greater TNC intake, a shift toward a propionate-enhanced ruminal fermentation profile, and a lower minimum ruminal pH compared to the M-TNC diet.
