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

This study aimed to investigate the effects of ginger straw as a replacement of peanut straw on the growth, meat quality, rumen fermentation, and immunity of goats. In this study, 40 Huanghuai male goats, weighing 30 ± 0.5 kg at six months of age, were selected and randomly divided into four treatments: ginger straw 0% (G0), 5% (G5), 10% (G10) and 20% (G20) replacing peanut straw, with 10 goats in each treatment. Goat dry matter intake (DMI) improved as the proportion of peanut straws replaced with ginger straws increased (linear,
