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.
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
We investigated the effects of brewery waste as a substrate for rearing Tenebrio molitor on larvae growth performance and lipid composition. One thousand and five hundred Tenebrio molitor larvae were randomly assigned to five experimental treatments. Experimental treatments were created by replacing wheat bran with increasing levels of brewery waste: 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%. Tenebrio molitor larvae growth performance was substantially changed by replacing wheat bran with incremental amounts of brewery waste, most notably by quadratic effects on larvae final body weight, daily body weight gain and substrate intake. Similarly, replacing wheat bran with incremental amounts of brewery waste linearly improved feed conversion ratio and reduced mortality of Tenebrio molitor. Larvae receiving 50% brewery waste had the highest final body weight, daily weight gain and substrate. Lipid content of Tenebrio molitor larvae increased linearly by replacing wheat bran with increasing amounts of brewery waste. Substantial changes were reported for larvae fatty acid profile. More notably, the use of brewery waste as an alternative rearing substrate increased stearic acid (C18:0) and palmitic acid (C16:0) content of Tenebrio molitor larvae. Myristic Acid (C14:0), Linoleic Acid (C18:2n6), Σ polyunsaturated and Σ n-3 polyunsaturated acid reduced linearly (P < 0.05) with adding incremental amounts of brewery waste. Whereas, pentadecanoic Acid (C15:0), Monounsaturated Heptadecanoic Acid (C17:1 n-5) and Linolenic Acid (C18:3 n-3) responded quadratically. Overall, our results indicate that brewery waste is a promising rearing substrate for Tenebrio molitor and markedly changes larvae lipid composition.
