Apparent total tract nutrient digestibility of frozen raw, freeze-dried raw, fresh, and extruded dog foods and their effects on serum metabolites and fecal characteristics, metabolites, and microbiota of healthy adult dogs.
Article in Translational animal science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Various pet food diet formats are available, but many are poorly studied. The objective of this study was to determine the apparent total tract macronutrient digestibility (ATTD) of frozen raw, freeze-dried raw, fresh, and extruded dog foods and assess their effects on serum metabolites, hematology, and fecal characteristics, metabolites, and microbiota of healthy adult dogs. Ten beagle dogs (4.10 ± 0.74 yr) were used in a replicated 5 × 5 Latin square study to test the following diets: Chicken and Barley Recipe (extruded; Hill's Science Diet [EXT]), Chicken and White Rice Recipe (fresh; Just Food for Dogs [FRSH]), Chicken Formula (frozen raw; Primal [FRZN]), Chicken and Sorghum Hybrid Freeze-dried Formula (freeze-dried raw; Primal [HFD]), and Chicken Dinner Patties (freeze-dried raw; Stella & Chewy's [FD]). The experiment was composed of five 35-d periods, with each ending with fecal and blood collections. Data were analyzed using Mixed Models in SAS 9.4, with
