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

Feeding oxidized soybean oil (OSO) can disrupt the redox homeostasis in broilers and increase the incidence and severity of wooden breast (WB) myopathy. The antioxidant activity of L-carnosine (LC) has been demonstrated to help alleviate oxidative stress generated during metabolic processes. Therefore, the effects of dietary LC supplementation on WB myopathy were investigated in this study. One hundred and twenty-six 21-d-old white-feathered broilers (1.017 ± 0.039 kg) were randomly allocated into three groups (7 replicates per group with 6 broilers per replicate): fresh soybean oil group (CON), OSO group (OSO), and OSO + 800 mg/kg LC (OSO + LC), for a 21-d trial. Compared with the CON group, broilers in the OSO group showed an increased feed-to-gain ratio, elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents, and decreased LC content in the pectoralis major (PM) muscle (
