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 objective of this study was to evaluate the individual effects of cellulase and Lactobacillus plantarum, as well as their interaction effect on the fermentation quality, microbial composition, and rumen degradation characteristics of apple pomace (AP) and wheat bran mixed silage. The experiment used a 2 × 2 factorial design with two factors: cellulase and L. plantarum, each with two levels (added or not added). The results demonstrated that cellulase supplementation in AP and wheat bran mixed silage increased acetic acid and total organic acid (TOA) levels while decreasing pH. Cellulase addition reduced neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) contents, increased water-soluble carbohydrate concentration, but elevated dry matter (DM) loss rate. Regarding rumen degradation characteristics, cellulase addition enhanced the effective rumen degradability of DM but reduced the effective rumen degradability of NDF and ADF. L. plantarum inoculation increased lactic acid and TOA levels, reduced pH and DM loss, and promoted a higher effective rumen degradation rate of NDF and ADF. Combined supplementation with cellulase and L. plantarum enhanced the relative abundance of lactic acid bacteria and the content of LA, reduced pH, NDF, and ADF, and increased ruminal effective degradability of nutrients. In conclusion, the combined supplementation of cellulase and L. plantarum exhibited a partial synergistic effect. The combined supplementation of cellulase and L. plantarum exerted a partial synergistic effect, preventing the increase in DM loss rate and the decrease in ruminal effective degradability of ADF induced by cellulase alone.
