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

Meat poultry breeding plays a critical role at the start of the food chain. Breeding solutions are long-term - as available in the DNA of the populations. They are also cumulative - the gradual improvements add up -, and disseminated widely throughout the production chain. Poultry meat is an important animal source food, and instrumental for global food security. The contribution that poultry breeding makes to meet current and future needs can be described in terms of a Code of Good Practice for Sustainable Breeding (Code-EFABAR®), and as Five Commitments to 1) Health, Food Safety and Food Security; 2) Diversity; 3) Balanced Breeding; 4) Management and Stockmanship; and 5) Transparency, Communication and Engagement. The review describes these commitments. Understanding what future directions are foreseen in the medium and long term is the basis for change. The dialogue and close cooperation with stakeholders in society is crucial to anticipate developments, by investigating and implementing them in steady and careful balanced selection leading to better welfare, productivity and sustainability outcomes.
