Lactobacillus Modulates the Rumen Microbiota and Transcriptome to Enhance Nutrient Digestion in Yaks Fed High-Concentrate Diets During the Cold Season.

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
Intensive yak fattening in cold alpine regions requires essential long-term high-concentration feeding, which disrupts rumen microbial homeostasis and causes inefficient digestion of nutrients. Lactobacillus may have probiotic potential for ruminants, yet its regulation of rumen function is poorly understood under high-energy diets. During a 120-day feeding experiment, 120 male Pamir yaks were allocated to four dietary treatments, with LEG and LLG serving as the primary comparison for evaluating 0.02% Lactobacillus supplementation to explore the regulatory effects of Lactobacillus supplementation on the rumen microbiota and host metabolism of yaks during a fattening process based on a concentrate feed diet via phenotypic data (body wight and nutrient digestibility) and multi-omics analyses (rumen microbial sequencing and rumen epithelial transcriptome) in a concentrate-based rearing yak model. The results showed that Lactobacillus intervention reduced OTU (Operational Taxonomic Unit) richness during the early fattening period and subsequently promoted microbial recovery through colonization resistance, which significantly enhanced microbial diversity (
