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

N-carbamylglutamate (NCG) is a structural analog of N-acetylglutamate and has multifunctional roles in animal production. However, few studies have been conducted to evaluate the effects of NCG on protein digestive function and muscle growth in broiler chickens. This study investigated whether NCG could improve muscle growth via protein digestive ability and amino acid metabolism in broiler chickens. A total of 144 one-day-old male broiler chickens were randomly allocated to four treatments with six replicates of 6 broiler chickens each. The treatments were a basal diet and a basal diet with NCG supplementation at three graded levels (150 g/t, 300 g/t, and 450 g/t of NCG). The results showed that NCG supplementation significantly improved the average daily weight gain (ADG) and decreased the feed conversion ratio (FCR) compared to the control group (
