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

In many developing countries, Roadrunner (Indigenous) chicken production in urban areas offers multifaceted opportunities. However,Plea this local enterprise also has some potential hazards and constraints. The research aimed to characterize Roadrunner chicken production in Harare. A descriptive survey was conducted whereby 107 respondents were identified using a multistage sampling approach and were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. Respondents comprised 52% men and 48% women. Roadrunner chickens were kept either for sale only (58%) or both household consumption and sale (42%). All the respondents (100%) were not registered as poultry producers. The Roadrunner chicken breeds kept were the Boschveld (41%), Koekoek (21%), Autralorp (20%) and non-discrete native strains. The average flock size was 125, ranging from 25 to 715 birds and the average stocking density was 7 birds/m
