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

Alternative feedstuffs offer a cost-effective and sustainable option for livestock nutrition, playing a crucial role in niche market development. Brewer's spent grains (BSG), a byproduct of the expanding craft microbrewery industry, are a particularly promising feed source due to their availability and nutrient content. However, variability in BSG composition poses challenges for their effective incorporation into precision diet formulations. This study aimed to evaluate the variability in the nutrient composition of BSG from craft microbreweries and classify them for precision diet formulation using multivariate analyses. BSG samples from 29 craft microbreweries were collected and analysed for their nutrient composition using wet chemistry methods. Principal components analysed included crude protein (CP), ash and protein corrected neutral detergent fiber (apNDFom), non-fibrous carbohydrates (NFC), and ether extract (EE). Principal component analysis (PCA) was employed to identify the most significant nutrient variations, and hierarchical clustering of the principal components was used to group the samples into four distinct clusters. These clusters were further evaluated through
