Impacts of different dietary soybean meal levels on jejunal immunity of nursery pigs at different days post-weaning.
Article in Journal of animal science and biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe objective of this study was to investigate the impacts of different dietary soybean meal (SBM) levels on jejunal immunity in nursery pigs at different days post-weaning.
methodsForty-eight pigs (6.2 ± 0.3 kg), weaned at 21 days of age, were assigned to 2 dietary treatments (n = 12) in a randomized complete block design and fed for 20 or 42 d in 3 phases (10, 10, and 22 d, respectively). The dietary treatments consisted of low and high SBM diets. On d 20 and 42, jejunal mucosa and tissue samples were collected. Treatments were arranged in 2 × 2 factors with dietary SBM levels (low and high SBM diets) and days post-weaning (20 d and 42 d post-weaning).
resultsPigs fed high SBM diets had greater (P < 0.05) relative abundance (RA) of jejunal Prevotella, tended to have greater (P = 0.091) jejunal IgA, had greater (P < 0.05) crypt depth, and tended to have lower (P = 0.064) villus height to crypt depth ratio (VH:CD) than pigs fed low SBM diets. Pigs at 20 d post-weaning had greater (P < 0.05) RA of jejunal Lactobacillus and had greater (P < 0.05) jejunal IL-8 and protein carbonyl than pigs at 42 d post-weaning. Pigs at 20 d post-weaning tended to have greater (P = 0.090) jejunal IgG, tended to have lower (P = 0.059) jejunal IgA, and had greater (P < 0.05) proportion (%) of Ki-67
conclusionPigs fed high SBM diets showed greater RA of Staphylococcus, a greater immune response, and a decreased VH:CD in the jejunum than pigs fed low SBM diets. Pigs at 20 d post-weaning were more susceptible to jejunal inflammation and intestinal damage than pigs at 42 d post-weaning, but the negative impacts of high SBM diets on jejunal inflammation and intestinal damage were consistent compared to low SBM diets at 20 d and 42 d post-weaning.
