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

This study investigated the effects of dietary sodium butyrate supplementation on blood gas profiles, biochemical parameters, and untargeted plasma metabolomics in tumbler pigeons. Eighty tumbler pigeons of similar age, body weight, and training intensity were randomly allocated into four groups: a control group without sodium butyrate supplementation (CON) and three sodium butyrate-supplemented groups receiving 6 mg/d (T1), 12 mg/d (T2), and 18 mg/d (T3), respectively. All birds were maintained under identical husbandry conditions and fed the same basal diet throughout a 40-day experimental period consisting of a 10-day acclimation phase and a 30-day feeding trial. Results showed that dietary sodium butyrate supplementation significantly improved dry matter digestibility, with T2 and T3 exhibiting higher values than CON (
