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
Mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) is a voracious carnivorous species, usually consuming only live bait fish, but dietary acclimation enables it to accept artificial feed. However, the effects of dietary acclimation on intestinal performance and gene expression in mandarin fish and related mechanisms remain largely unknown. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of artificial feed on intestinal physicochemical and biochemical performance and gene expression in mandarin fish. Mandarin fish were sampled on day 10 after feeding with live dace (LD), at day 40 after subsequent feeding with dead dace plus artificial feed (DD + AF) from day 11 to day 40, and at day 90 after continuous feeding with artificial feed (AF) alone from day 41 to day 90 for transcriptome sequencing. The biochemical analysis results indicated that artificial feed significantly increased the activity of antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase in the intestine, liver, and stomach. Histological analysis demonstrated intestinal damage in mandarin fish fed with artificial feed. The GO and KEGG enrichment analyses indicated that the DEGs in AF vs. DD + AF were significantly enriched in the pentose phosphate pathway, and the DEGs in AF vs. LD were mainly significantly enriched in glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and PPAR signaling pathways. Nineteen feed acclimation-related key genes such as gene pfkfb4a and scd were identified in the intestine and found to exhibit upregulated expressions. These results revealed that artificial feed domestication enhanced the antioxidant capacity of the mandarin fish intestine and reduced hepatic lipid deposition by upregulating the related gene expression of mandarin fish and that the regulation of carbon metabolisms, including sugar, lipid, and steroid metabolisms, might be fundamental mechanisms for mandarin fish to acclimatize to dietary changes. These findings provide novel insights into the feed acclimation mechanism of mandarin fish, holding implications for promoting large-scale artificial feed aquaculture of mandarin fish and improving economic efficiency.
