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
Maternal nutrition is one of the main factors regulating the growth and immunity of piglets. This study aimed to investigate the effects of maternal or maternal-offspring supplementation of antibiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics on the immunity of offspring (21, 65, and 125 day-old) in Bama mini-pigs. The results showed that adding antibiotics to maternal diets increased the plasma IFN-γ level of offspring piglets at 21 day-old. Compared with maternal supplementation, maternal-offspring supplementation of antibiotics decreased the IL-10 level in the spleen, probiotics decreased IL-2, IL-10, and TNF-α levels in the ileum, and synbiotics decreased IL-10 and IFN-γ levels in the ileum of offspring piglets. Moreover, maternal-offspring antibiotics supplementation increased the IL-1β level in the ileum, while probiotics supplementation increased the IL-1β level in the spleen of offspring piglets. Maternal antibiotics supplementation increased the TNF-α level in the ileum at 95 day-old compared with maternal probiotics and synbiotics supplementation. Maternal-offspring antibiotics supplementation increased the IL-1β level in the ileum compared with the probiotics supplementation, while synbiotics supplementation increased the IL-6 level in the ileum than the probiotics and antibiotics supplementation at 95 day-old. Moreover, maternal-offspring probiotics supplementation increased the IL-1β level in the spleen of offspring pigs, which was higher than the maternal probiotics supplementation. These findings suggest that the immune function of the offspring piglets varied depending on the specific approach used for probiotics and synbiotics supplementation.
