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

Turkey hen reproductive cycles are short with a low peak, making environmental management, including lighting programs, especially important for sustaining production. Although high light intensities are typically used to improve performance, this practice lacks strong support from the scientific literature. Evidence from other avian species suggests red light more effectively stimulates the reproductive axis, but light intensity may confound this response. We aimed to evaluate the effects of red spectrum (R) or white (W) lighting at high (H, 0.3 W/m
