Upgrading the feeding value of oil palm fronds for ruminants through processing: Evidence from a meta-analysis of
Article in Veterinary and animal science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Oil palm fronds (OPF) have potential as a ruminant feed; however, their utilization is limited by low nutritional quality and digestibility. Various processing methods, including biological, chemical, physical, and their combinations, have been applied to improve the feeding value of OPF. This meta-analysis aimed to integrate findings from multiple studies to evaluate the effects of processing on OPF feeding value. A total of 25 relevant articles retrieved from Scopus were analysed to quantify the effects of OPF processing on nutrient composition, rumen fermentability (
