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

Consumer demand for high-quality products, combined with expectations for more sustainable production systems and animal welfare, is driving major changes in livestock farming practices. It is known that space allowance plays a central role in pig welfare, promoting resting and reducing the incidence of injuries and stress-related behaviors; however, there is little scientific evidence on the effect that available space has on the carcass and meat quality. In this study, space allowances were compared, in both an indoor conventional system (1.15, 1.9 and 3 m
