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 ruminant gut microbiome is central to feed conversion efficiency, nutrient utilisation, and animal health, yet how pasture diversity and management shape its composition over time under real, working farm conditions remains poorly understood, as most previous studies have relied on short-term or more tightly controlled comparisons. A multi-year study (2022-2025) investigated gut microbial dynamics in cattle and sheep grazing on different pasture management systems; standard pastures under contemporary management (Std-Con), standard pastures under regenerative management (Std-Reg), diverse pastures under contemporary management (Div-Con), and diverse pastures under regenerative management (Div-Reg) at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand, using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing of faecal DNA. Microbial relative abundance remained broadly stable overall, with notable seasonal fluctuations.
