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

The rumen epithelium of Tibetan sheep plays a critical role in energy metabolism and immune defense; however, its post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms under high-altitude hypoxia stress remain unclear. In this study, we employed integrated mRNA and miRNA transcriptome sequencing to analyze the adaptive strategies of the rumen epithelium in Tibetan sheep at different altitudes. A total of 2183 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 135 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) were identified. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that DEGs and their target genes were significantly enriched in immune-related pathways such as the NF-κB signaling pathway and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, as well as metabolic pathways including oxidative phosphorylation and branched-chain amino acid degradation. Integrated network analysis highlighted key regulatory pairs, including
