Productive Behavior and Carcass Yield of Mexican Tropical Hairless Creole Pigs Fed Different Diets.

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
The objective of this research was to determine the in-pen behavior and carcass yield of MCPs fed two different diets and slaughtered at two different live weights. The MCP biotype has a slow growth rate because they are fed with forage resources and locally available unconventional feeds. Sixteen castrated MCPs were used: eight pigs under 40 kg live weight and eight pigs over 40 kg. The diets were prepared with corn, soy, vitamins, and minerals, different protein levels, and the same energy content. Pigs fed the corn-soybean diet had a higher daily feed intake (500 g/d) and a significantly increased daily weight gain (160 g/d) compared to pigs fed on the corn-only diet, achieving slaughter weight in less time (4.33 times faster in pigs slaughtered at 40 kg live weight and 2.44 times faster for pigs slaughtered at 80 kg live weight). Regarding carcass yield, fat was 10% higher in pigs slaughtered at 80 kg compared to those at 40 kg. Soybean meal feeding improved the in-pen performance of MCPs but did not improve carcass yield. At higher slaughter weights, fat yield increased, but meat yield did not change.
