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

Objective: This study aimed to assess the impact of dietary taurine supplementation on egg quality, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and cholesterol contents in egg during the late laying period in hens. Methods: A total of 102 44-week-old Roman pink laying hens were randomly divided into six groups, one control group and five treatment groups additionally supplied with 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2% Taurine (weight/weight). Feed intake and body weight were recorded to calculate production performance, and eggs were collected to analyze egg quality. At the end of the study, 10 laying hens were randomly selected from each group and slaughtered to collect blood, liver, and other samples. Results: The results revealed that 0.05% or 0.1% taurine significantly increased the contents of C18-3n and C18-2n polyunsaturated fatty acids in yolks ( Conclusion: Supplying 0.05 to 0.2% taurine improved specific aspects of egg quality, enhanced contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids, and reduced egg yolk cholesterol during the late laying period. This study provides scientific evidence for the further taurine use in egg production.
