Microalgae supplementation improves goat milk composition and fatty acid profile: a meta-analysis and meta-regression.
Review in Archives animal breeding, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
Recently, there has been an emphasis on research on sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices. Microalgae are a promising feed that is rich in essential nutrients, and research has been oriented toward their incorporation into ruminant diets. This study aimed to evaluate the inclusion of microalgae in goat diets using a meta-analysis methodology. The data were acquired from 17 peer-reviewed scientific papers. The raw mean difference between the treatment diets supplemented with microalgae and the control diets was evaluated using the random-effects model. Experimental characteristics such as animal breed, days in milk, experimental duration, microalgae species, inclusion levels, and concentrate were used as covariates in meta-regression and subgrouping analyses. Microalgae supplementation did not affect dry matter intake (DMI,
