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

This study aimed to observe the effects of varying dietary proportions of palm kernel meal (PKM) on fermentation parameters and the rumen microbiota in Tibetan sheep. At farrowing, lambs were identified as having low birth weights (LBWs, < 4.0 ± 0.35 kg) or normal birth weights (NBWs, > 5.50 ± 0.50 kg). NBW lambs were selected for further experiments. On day 60, lambs were weaned onto a common diet. A total of 120 NBW Tibetan male lambs (18.39 ± 1.25 kg) were randomly assigned to four groups. The control group (PKM control, PC) was fed a basal diet, while the three experimental groups were fed diets supplemented with 15% (low-PKM, LP), 18% (moderate-PKM, MP), and 21% (high-PKM, HP) PKM for 120 d, respectively. On days 1 and 120, body weight was recorded per pen to calculate average daily gain (ADG). At the end of the experiment, twenty Tibetan sheep (
