Effect of increasing arginine:lysine ratio during the transition period and lactation on farrowing kinetics, milk composition, and sow and litter performance.

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 present study aimed to determine the effects of feeding increasing Arg concentrations during late gestation (transition) and lactation of sows on farrowing kinetics, colostrum and milk concentration of immunoglobulins G (IgG), and sow and litter performance. A total of 90 sows (Line 241, DNA Genetics, Columbus, NE) were blocked by parity (average 2.14) and body weight (BW) on d 108 ± 1 of gestation and allotted to one of three dietary treatments of increasing SID Arg:Lys ratio (90, 105, or 120%). Sows received approximately 2.7 kg/d of their treatment diet starting from d 109 of gestation until farrowing, then allowed ad libitum access to their treatment diet. Litters were cross fostered within 48 h after farrowing to equalize litter size. At farrowing, colostrum was collected for IgG concentration analysis. Colostrum yield and intake were also calculated. Sows and one average weight barrow per litter were bled on day 18 for blood urea nitrogen analysis (BUN). On the same day, milk was also collected for proximate composition and IgG concentration. Increasing SID Arg:Lys ratio did not affect sow BW or backfat change during lactation, nor influence sow average daily feed intake (ADFI) either pre-farrow or during lactation. Average SID Arg intake increased (linear,
