Dietary butyrate, lauric acid and stearic acid improve gut morphology and epithelial cell turnover in weaned piglets.
Article in Animal nutrition (Zhongguo xu mu shou yi xue hui), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 was to evaluate the effects of the supplementation of saturated fatty acids with different chain lengths on growth performance, intestinal morphology, epithelial cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis in weaned piglets. Thirty-two weaned piglets (Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire, BW = 7.81 ± 0.26 kg) were weaned at 21 d and randomly assigned to 1 of 4 experimental treatments: (1) a basal diet (control); (2) control + 0.3% butyrate (BT); (3) control + 0.3% lauric acid (LA); (4) control + 0.3% stearic acid (SA). All piglets were then slaughtered for tissue sampling after having been fed experimental diets for 28 d after weaning. Supplementation of BT increased the gain-to-feed ratio (G:F) (
