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

Low-protein diets are increasingly used in nursery pigs to reduce nitrogen excretion and control post-weaning diarrhea. Niacinamide, as a bioavailable form of niacin, improves protein metabolic regulation and nitrogen utilization via promoting energy metabolism, redox balance, and intestinal integrity. In addition, synergistic effects in enhancing anti-inflammation and protecting against environmental stress are reported by combining niacinamide and Zn. The levels of dietary niacinamide for optimal growth and intestinal health were determined in two experiments using nursery pigs fed a low-protein diet with and without the addition of 0.2% ZnO. The diets were supplemented with 0, 30, 130, 230, or 330 mg/kg niacinamide. In Exp. 1, niacinamide quadratically improved (
