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

Defensins, one of the members of the antimicrobial peptide family, play a vital role in resisting microbial invasion and immune regulation. Porcine β-defensin 2 possesses excellent stability, making it an ideal antibiotic alternative for feed additives. In this study, a total of 15 piglets were used to investigate the effects of supplementing diets with 2.5 mg/kg (LP group) and 5 mg/kg (HP group) of pBD2 to weaned piglets. The results revealed that pBD2 significantly increased the total weight gain and average daily weight gain (
