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

The study investigated whether the full replacement of chemically solvent-extracted soybean meal (SM) with mechanically extracted soybean press cake (SC) could be carried out in pigs intended for dry-cured ham production. Eighty Italian heavy pigs were fattened and finished up to a body weight of 165 kg, with half being fed a commercial diet containing SM and the other half fed an isoenergetic and isonitrogenous diet in which SC fully replaced SM. Growth parameters, carcass traits, fresh meat and cured ham quality, and fatty acid composition were analyzed. Thighs were processed according to the Parma ham production rules, which require a long curing period. The only noteworthy differences observed concerned an increase in polyunsaturated fatty acid levels in the subcutaneous fat of the SC group compared with the SM group (17.26 vs. 14.58%,
