Growth performance and physiometabolic safety of probiotic-Curcuma herbal supplementation in local female lambs of Indonesia.
Article in Veterinary world, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background and Aim: The escalating demand for animal protein in Indonesia underscores the imperative for efficacious nutritional strategies to augment lamb productivity while safeguarding physiological integrity. Prior investigations have predominantly examined probiotics or herbal additives in isolation, yielding fragmented insights into their combined efficacy. This study endeavored to assess the integrated impacts of probiotic-herbal supplementation on growth performance, hematological indices, and serum biochemical profiles in local Indonesian lambs maintained on a concentrate-based ration, thereby furnishing comprehensive evidence on growth dynamics and physiometabolic safety. Materials and Methods: Twelve female local lambs, aged approximately 6-7 months with an initial body weight (BW) of 20.33 ± 2.24 kg, were allocated into two cohorts: a control group receiving solely the basal diet and a treatment group administered the basal diet supplemented with a probiotic-herbal formulation. The supplement comprised Results: Clinical parameters in both cohorts resided within physiological norms, with the treatment group manifesting enhanced stability in body temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and rumen motility relative to controls. Supplementation elicited a significant elevation in weekly weight gain (1.13 ± 0.63 kg versus 0.67 ± 0.31 kg; p = 0.00177), albeit final BWs were comparable (21.99 ± 2.59 kg versus 21.39 ± 2.99 kg; p > 0.05). Hematological indices (red blood cell: 8.86 ± 1.65 × 10¹²/L versus 9.90 ± 2.09 × 10¹²/L; hemoglobin: 9.07 ± 1.04 g/dL versus 9.94 ± 1.78 g/dL; PCV: 28.67 ± 4.88% versus 26.44 ± 5.84%) remained unaltered and normative. Lipid analyses disclosed diminished triglycerides (42.50 ± 33.61 mg/dL versus 65.67 ± 56.53 mg/dL; p = 0.049) and LDL (14.67 ± 6.41 mg/dL versus 23.71 ± 14.08 mg/dL; p = 0.037) in treated lambs, with total cholesterol and HDL unaffected. Hepatic enzymes and protein profiles exhibited no intergroup disparities, though ALP and AST surpassed conventional ranges in both, indicative of physiological adaptation rather than pathology. Conclusion: Probiotic-herbal supplementation incorporating
