Effects of Cotton Stalk and Sugar Beet Pulp Silage on Growth Performance, Serum Biochemistry, Rumen Fermentation, and Microbiota in Suffolk Ram Lambs.
Article in Biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 study evaluated the effects of replacing whole-plant corn silage with cotton stalk and sugar beet pulp mixed silage at 0, 30, 60, or 90% on growth performance, serum parameters, and rumen characteristics in Suffolk ram lambs, addressing the lack of systematic research on moderate-to-high replacement ratios in sheep diets. Eighty-four 4-month-old ram lambs (32.36 ± 2.92 kg) were assigned to four treatments (3 pens/treatment, 7 lambs/pen) for a 120-day trial after a 15-day adaptation. Based on the growth performance and serum parameter results, the control and 60% replacement groups were selected for further analysis of rumen fermentation and bacterial microbiota via 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Compared with the control, the 60% replacement group showed increased final body weight (+15.7%,
