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 modern livestock industry faces significant challenges due to the extension of production cycles and a growing shortage of feed resources. Low-protein (LP) diets offer potential environmental advantages whereas damage intestinal integrity and increase pro-inflammatory cytokines. Bile acids (BAs), metabolic products of cholesterol in the liver, possess strong antioxidative and immune properties. This study evaluated the effects of dietary porcine BA supplementation at different protein levels on the antioxidant status, immune function, and gut microbiota of late-laying hens. A 2 × 2 factorial design was employed with 198 Hy-Line Brown laying hens (62 weeks old), randomly divided into one of four treatment groups with 8 replicates for each treatment. Diets included normal (16.42%) or low-protein (15.35%) levels, with porcine BAs supplemented at 0 or 120 mg/kg (62-69 weeks) and 0 or 200 mg/kg (70-75 weeks) over 14 weeks. Dietary protein levels and bile acids had no effect on organ development in laying hens. Low-protein diets increased serum anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and IL-10 but elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β (
