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
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of myristic acid on jejunal mucosal microbiota, mucosal immunity, and growth performance of nursery pigs. Thirty-six pigs (6.6 ± 0.4 kg of body weight) were assigned to three treatments (n = 12) for 35 d in three phases: (NC) basal diet; (PC) NC + bacitracin; and (MA) NC + myristic acid compound. Pigs were euthanized to collect jejunal mucosa, jejunal tissues, and ileal digesta. The PC increased (p < 0.05) the relative abundance (RA) of Lactobacillus spp., and Bifidobacterium boum than the NC group. The MA increased (p < 0.05) RA of Bifidobacterium dentium and Megasphaera spp. than the NC group. The PC tended to decrease IL-8 (p = 0.053) and protein carbonyl (p = 0.075) whereas IgG (p = 0.051) and IL-8 (p = 0.090) in jejunal mucosa were decreased by the MA. The PC increased (p < 0.05) the villus height to crypt depth ratio than the NC group. Both bacitracin and myristic acid improved the intestinal health and growth performance of nursery pigs. Effects of bacitracin were rather immediate whereas the effects of myristic acid were obtained after a 3-week feeding.
