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

The current experiment aimed to investigate the effects of sodium butyrate (SB) and vitamin D3 (VD3) supplementation on the growth performance, immune status, antioxidant capacity, and gut health of young broilers under cold stress. A total of 144 1-day-old Arbor Acres chicks were randomly allotted to three treatments with 6 replicates of 8 birds: (1) basal diet; (2) basal diet + cold stress; and (3) basal diet with 1 g/kg SB and 2000 IU/kg VD3 + cold stress. Birds were exposed to cold stress at 16 ± 1 °C for 72 h (d 18-21) and 26 ± 1 °C for the control. The results indicated that the SB/VD3 diet could alleviate the reduction in average daily gain (ADG) caused by cold stress (
