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

Corn ethanol coproducts contain high concentrations of protein, lipids, and fiber; however, their nutritional composition and digestibility vary significantly across manufacturing processes. This study aimed to survey and synthesize literature data on corn ethanol coproducts and their effects on pig digestibility. A systematic search was conducted between August 2023 and October 2025 across databases, including Periódicos Capes, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Scielo, and Google Scholar. The search targeted publications from 2010-2005 using keywords related to DDGS, pigs, energy, and amino acids. Among the 177 articles meeting the inclusion criteria, corn DDGS was the most common coproduct (359 observations), followed by wheat and sorghum. The results indicated that wheat DDGS had the highest protein and phosphorus contents, whereas corn DDGS presented higher crude fiber and NDF levels. Furthermore, corn DDGS provided the highest digestible and metabolizable energy values, with amino acid digestibility coefficients generally surpassing those of other sources. This updated database serves as a vital tool for improving the predictability of these ingredients in swine nutrition.
