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

Introduction: Weaning represents one of the most critical phases in pig production, as it is often characterised by a transient period of fasting that can impair gut integrity and ultimately reduce growth performance while increasing susceptibility to disease. At the same time, increasing pressure to reduce dietary crude protein and reliance on conventional protein sources has highlighted the need for feeding strategies that support the sustainability of feed formulations and animal health. Aim: This study evaluated the effects of daily supplementation with live Methods: A total of 48 piglets were allocated to four treatments: control diets without larvae (CTRL15 and CTRL17) and corresponding diets supplemented daily with 50 g/pig/day of live mealworm larvae (INS15 and INS17). Growth performance, feed intake, feed efficiency, time required to consume the larvae, health indicators, apparent total tract digestibility, serum biochemical parameters, antioxidant capacity and mineral profile were assessed over a 42-day trial. Results and discussion: Larvae supplementation significantly improved early feed efficiency and growth performance ( Conclusion: In conclusion, live
