Early supplemental feeding improves post-weaning growth restriction in lambs via the gastrointestinal-metabolic axis.

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 weaning period often induces growth restriction in lambs due to gastrointestinal immaturity and dietary transition. Although early supplemental feeding (ESF) shows promise, its systemic mechanisms via the rumen microbiota-gut-metabolism axis remain incompletely understood. Sixty Tan lambs were assigned to a control group (suckling only), Trial Group I (free-access ESF from 10 days), and Trial Group II (free-access + forced isolation from 15 days). Growth performance, rumen fermentation, intestinal morphology, serum metabolites, and rumen microbiota were comprehensively analyzed. The supplemental feeding regimen in Trial Group I significantly improved body weight, average daily gain, and body size before and after weaning. Rumen butyrate and acetate concentrations increased markedly, with enrichment of beneficial microbiota (
