Effects of different acidifiers on the growth performance and diarrhea score of weaned piglets under commercial pig farm conditions.
Article in Translational animal science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Benzoic acid (BA)-based acidifiers are widely applied in nursery diets; however, formulation can shape their functional outcomes on intake, host robustness, and gut microbial ecology. This study assessed a new-type benzoic acid (NBA) strategy under commercial farm conditions. A total of 210 21-day-old DLY (Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire) weaned piglets, with equal numbers of males and females and similar body weight (average 6.03 kg ± 0.01 kg), were randomly assigned to 5 groups with 6 replicates per group and 7 piglets per replicate. The control group was fed a basal diet, while the four experimental groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 0.5% benzoic acid (BA), 0.3% new-type benzoic acid (NBA), 0.25% controlled-release-coated benzoic acid (CBA), or 0.5% compound acidifier (CA) powder, respectively. The trial lasted 42 days. The results showed that compared to the control group, the average daily feed intake (ADFI) from days 15 to 28 was significantly increased (
