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

Livestock production is increasingly expected to deliver not only higher output, but also better animal health and welfare, safer and more nutritious food, viable livelihoods, and lower environmental pressure. This invited review examines balanced animal nutrition within a One Health framework, linking feed resources with animal health, food quality and safety, community well-being, and environmental sustainability. Evidence from studies on improved forages, agro-industrial by-products, alternative feed resources, precision nutrition, feed safety, preventive healthcare, antimicrobial stewardship, manure management, and climate-resilient production was considered across the feed-animal-food-community-environment pathway. Nutritionally balanced and safe feeding strategies can support animal health and productivity, improve nutrient utilisation and modify selected quality characteristics of animal-derived foods. Their effects on disease occurrence, antimicrobial use, food safety and environmental outcomes depend on livestock species, physiological stage, dietary composition and production-system characteristics, as well as appropriate veterinary care and food-chain management. The review identifies differences among livestock species and production systems, as well as nutritional, economic and environmental trade-offs that influence the suitability of feeding strategies. Although evidence supports several individual relationships between animal nutrition, animal health, food quality and resource use, the complete sequence of downstream One Health outcomes has rarely been assessed within the same experimental or analytical framework. Integrated evaluation of these outcomes is therefore necessary to determine the wider benefits and limitations of nutritional interventions across livestock production systems.
