Effects of replacing zinc oxide with different levels of zinc lactate on growth performance, serum indexes, intestinal health and gut microbiota in weaned piglets.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Introduction: This study evaluated the efficacy of substituting zinc oxide (ZnO) with varying levels of zinc lactate (ZnL) in weaned piglets. Methods: A total of 128 Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire (DLY) weaned piglets (7.31 ± 0.25 kg) were randomly divided into 4 dietary groups for 18 days ( Results: TRE2 achieved comparable growth performance (average daily gain, average daily feed intake, and feed intake to gain ratio) to CON+ ( Discussion: In conclusion, dietary supplementation of 800 ppm zinc from ZnL achieved equivalent effects to 1500 ppm ZnO in enhancing antioxidant capacity and gut health by regulating the gut microbiota, providing an effective zinc reduction strategy for weaned piglet nutrition.
