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

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate effects of apparent metabolizable energy (AMEn) levels in diets on productivity, fat deposition, and biochemical parameters of Woorimatdag1 (WMD1) breeder pullets.

methodsA total of 240 four-week-old WMD1 breeder pullets were divided into four dietary groups with five replicates (12 birds per replicate). These groups had the following dietary energy levels: standard metabolizable energy (SME), SME-200, SME-100, and SME+100 (diets containing 2,800, 2,600, 2,700, and 2,900 kcal AMEn/kg, respectively). These pullets were provided with diets and water ad libitum until 16 weeks old.

resultsWeight gain was significantly (p<0.05) higher in SME-100, SME, and SME+100 groups than in the SME-200 group. SME+100 and SME groups exhibited significantly (p<0.05) improved feed conversion ratio compared to the SME-200 group. Laying ages of 30% egg production occurred significantly (p<0.05) earlier in SME-100, SME, and SME+100 groups than in the SME-200 group. SME and SME+100 groups had significantly (p<0.05) higher liver fat (%) than the SME-200 group. Additionally, the SME+100 group had higher (p<0.05) abdominal fat (%) than other groups. However, blood parameters were not significantly different among dietary groups.

conclusionSME-100 (2,700 kcal AMEn/kg) might be suitable for improving productivity and fat deposition of WMD1 breeder pullets.
