Lactation performance of Holstein dairy cows fed diets with or without an annual forage mix silage.

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
The use of annual forage mixes (sorghum-sudangrass, Italian ryegrass, and cool-season legumes) in dairy cropping rotations have increased, however research has not evaluated its use in dairy cattle rations and impacts on feed intake and milk production. Our objective was to compare the performance, nutrient digestibility, and gaseous emissions of lactating Holstein cows fed a diet containing either an annual forage mix silage (sorghum-sudangrass, Italian ryegrass, clovers) or an alfalfa-grass silage. Thirty-two primiparous Holstein cows (96 ± 38 d in milk) were stratified by days in milk then randomly assigned to one of two treatment diets (16 cows/treatment) containing either alfalfa-grass silage (Control) or annual forage mix silage (Mix) at 18.3% of diet dry matter (DM). Diets contained corn silage at 29.2% of DM with other ingredients balanced to achieve similar protein concentration. Cows were randomly assigned to individual feeding gates in 2 pens with diets fed to separate pens to avoid animal injuries at feeding. A 2-wk baseline period with all cows fed Control was followed by an 8-wk treatment period with cows fed assigned treatments. Dry matter intake (DMI) was affected by an interaction of treatment and time (
