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 develop an encapsulated iron supplement for oral ingestion and to determine its effect on the iron nutrition status of suckling pigs. Encapsulated and non-encapsulated iron supplement was prepared. Seventy-two neonatal piglets were assigned to three experimental groups: (1) parenteral group (gold standard treatment), which received one dose of parenteral iron (200 mg), 2 days of age, (2) "non-encapsulated" group (as a control group), which received 4 oral doses of unencapsulated iron supplement at 2, 7, 12 and 17 days of age, and (3) "encapsulated" group, which received 4 oral doses of encapsulated iron supplement on the same days. The encapsulated and unencapsulated iron supplements contained 65.2 and 65.0 mg/iron/dose, respectively. Parenteral treatment was not sufficient to ensure an adequate iron nutritional state in piglets at the end of the lactation period, showing iron depletion (serum ferritin: 8.4 µg/L). In contrast, oral supplementation prevented the development of iron depletion. Higher serum ferritin values were observed in the encapsulated (19.9 µg/L) compared to the unencapsulated group (17.4 µg/L) (
