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

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of trace mineral (TM) source on: (1) nutrient digestibility and rumen fermentation characteristics, (2) rumen TM solubility, and (3) TM binding strength on ruminal digesta. In experiment 1, twelve cannulated Angus steers were adapted to a high-concentrate diet, blocked by body weight, and randomly assigned to dietary treatments consisting of 18, 40, or 90 mg of supplemental Cu, Mn, and Zn/kg DM, respectively, from either sulfate (STM) or hydroxy (HTM) sources. Following diet adaptation, total fecal and rumen fluid were collected over a 5 d period. Nutrient digestibility was not affected (
