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

Off-flavor in corn silage compromises feed quality and animal performance, yet the microbial-metabolic changes driving its formation remain poorly understood. In this study, microbiome profiling, metabolomics, and sensory evaluation were integrated to elucidate the changing factors driving off-flavor formation. Silage samples from 10 dairy farms were classified by sensory score into control (CON, 15-20) and abnormal silage groups (ASG, <15). The bacterial community structure was analyzed, metabolites were identified and quantified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and the associations between microorganisms and metabolites were explored via Spearman correlation analysis. Compared with the CON, the ASG exhibited significantly lower concentrations of dry matter (
