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

Introduction: Velvet antler is an important product of sika deer ( Methods: This study investigated the impact of rumen-protected lysine supplementation on velvet antler growth, nutrient digestibility, gut bacteria, serum biochemical parameters, and gene expression in sika deer. Fifteen healthy 2-year-old male sika deer were randomly assigned to three dietary groups: control (0 g/day rumen-protected lysine, CON), low (5 g/day rumen-protected-lysine, LLys), and high (10g/day rumen-protected lysine, HLys). Results: Supplementation with rumen-protected lysine significantly increased antler weight and dry matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber, and acid detergent fiber digestibility ( Conclusion: Overall, these results provide novel insights into the effect of rumen-protected lysine supplementation on antler growth, host digestibility and metabolism, fecal microbiota, and blood transcriptome of sikadeer.
