The effects of supplementing Astragalus and fermented Astragalus on lactation performance, rumen microbiota, and lamb weight gain in Turpan black sheep.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This trial selected Turpan Black ewes at 100 days of gestation as test subjects to investigate the effects of supplemental feeding with Astragalus and fermented Astragalus on the ewes' rumen microbial community structure, plasma metabolites, antioxidant capacity, milk composition, as well as the immune parameters and growth performance of newborn lambs, in order to provide a theoretical basis for stress alleviation and the application of Astragalus and fermented Astragalus. The trial selected 60 Turpan Black ewes at 100 days of gestation and randomly divided them into three groups: Control group (CON group): basal diet; Astragalus group (AM group): basal diet + 2 g/day·head of Astragalus; Fermented Astragalus group (FAM group): basal diet + 2 g/day·head of fermented Astragalus. Each group consisted of 20 ewes, with a 5-day adaptation period and a 90-day experimental period. Dietary supplementation with Astragalus increased milk yield (
