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

Experiments were designed to investigate the effect of extrusion on the available energy and nutrient digestibility of wheat, and to further evaluate the effects of incorporating extruded wheat into the diet on growth performance, diarrhea rates, health status, and fecal microbiota of weaned piglets. In Exp. 1, twelve crossbred barrows, with an initial body weight (BW) of 12.0 ± 0.73 kg, were randomly assigned to two treatment groups (wheat and extruded wheat) to determine the digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME). Additionally, nine crossbred barrows (initial BW, 13.73 ± 0.59 kg) fitted with ileal cannulas, were arranged in a 9 × 2 Youden square design, including three diets (N-free diet, wheat, and extruded wheat), aiming to measure the standard ileal digestibility of amino acids (AAs). In Exp. 2, 96 pigs (initial BW, 8.58 ± 0.52 kg) were randomly divided into two treatments (CON and 35% extruded wheat) based on BW, with each treatment having six pens, each pen containing four boars and four sows. The results indicated that extrusion significantly increased the DE and ME of wheat and the standard ileal digestibility of most AAs (
