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

Both corn gluten feed and bakery by-products are important alternative concentrate feedstuffs for ruminants. Bakery by-products, which are rich in ether extract (EE) and starch, have the potential to be utilized as concentrate feedstuffs for ruminants, with a capacity to reduce ruminal methanogenesis. In the study, fermented corn gluten feed (FCG) and fermented bakery by-products (FBP) were mixed with other feedstuffs to formulate FCG and FBP diets, respectively. Twenty growing Holstein bulls, weighing 241 ± 10.5 kg, were randomly assigned to one of two dietary treatments: FCG or FBP diet. The aim was to investigate effects of replacing FCG with FBP feedstuff on nutrient digestibility, ruminal fermentation, ruminal microbiota, and methanogenesis. Results showed that the bulls feeding FBP diet had greater starch intake (
