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

backgroundHigh-fiber diets are supplemented with lipids to meet the required energy content, but data on the interactions between dietary fiber (DF) and lipid types on gastrointestinal fermentation in pigs are scant.

objectivesThis study aimed to use a combination of in vivo and in vitro fermentation methodologies to determine the interactive effects of DF and lipid types on short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production and absorption and organic matter (OM) fermentability in the cecum and colorectal tract of pigs.

methodsEight ileal- and cecal-cannulated Yorkshire barrows were fed either pectin- or cellulose-containing diets that were supplemented with either corn oil or beef tallow in 2 independent Youden squares with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments (n = 6). Ileal and cecal digesta were collected, freeze-dried, and fermented using inoculum from fresh cecal digesta and feces, respectively, to determine individual SCFA production and absorption and fermentability of OM.

resultsInteractions (P < 0.001) between DF and lipid types were observed in which the addition of beef tallow decreased the quantity of cecal and colorectal acetic acid production and cecal acetic absorption, cecal butyric production, predicted cecal OM fermentability, and predicted colorectal propionic acid in pectin diets, but the effects were not observed for cellulose diets. The addition of beef tallow increased (P < 0.001) the production of cecal butyric and propionic acids during in vitro fermentation in cellulose diets and apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of OM in pectin diets.

conclusionsThe interactions between DF and lipids on gastrointestinal fermentation largely depend on the degree of saturation of fatty acids in dietary lipids. The addition of beef tallow selectively decreased the production and absorption of individual SCFAs in pectin and cellulose diets but increased cecal butyric and propionic acid production in cellulose diets and the ATTD of OM in pectin diets.
