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 objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of reducing dietary protein levels on barrows during the late fattening period. Fifty Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire barrows with body weights averaging 76.30 ± 6.57 kg were randomly divided into normal protein (NP) and low protein (LP) groups. The feeding experiment lasted for 55 days. Dietary crude protein (CP) contents were 13.5% in the NP and 11.5% in the LP during days 1-28 and 12.5% and 10.5% during days 29-55, respectively. Results showed that compared with the NP, the LP increased the average daily gain (ADG) of barrows during days 29-55 (
