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
The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of a scalable feeding strategy based on daily diet adjustments to predefined group feeding curves for growing-finishing pigs, on growth performance, nutrient efficiency, and environmental sustainability responses. Six hundred thirty 64-day-old male pigs were allocated to 30 pens (21 animals per pen), which were randomly assigned to the following treatments: control (conventional phase-feeding program) or daily adjusted diet (same diets but provided in predefined mixing ratios adjusted daily for a gradual transition between feeding phases). Growth performance and nutrient efficiency were assessed using body weight and feed intake records. Serum biochemical responses were analyzed in a representative subsample of the population. Environmental impact was inferred based on estimates of the global warming, terrestrial acidification, freshwater eutrophication, and land use associated with feeding practices. All data were tested using analysis of variance, and the results were interpreted at a significance level of 5%. No differences were observed in growth performance or backfat thickness between the treatments. However, daily adjusted feeding program allowed a 5% reduction in standardized ileal digestible (SID) lysine intake (
