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

Background and Aim: The high cost and limited availability of maize in poultry production necessitate the exploration of alternative feed sources. Bread waste (BW), a nutrient-rich by-product, offers a sustainable substitute. However, concerns regarding its protein degradation during processing and limited research in laying hens restrict its broader application. Probiotics such as Materials and Methods: Sixty 52-week-old Lohmann Brown laying hens were randomly assigned to one of three treatments (n = 20 per treatment; 4 replicates of 5 hens each): (T1) basal diet; (T2) basal diet with 20% BW replacing maize; and (T3) basal diet with 20% BW and 0.8% Results: No significant differences (p > 0.05) were observed in laying rate, egg mass, feed conversion per dozen eggs, or live weight across treatments. Economically, substituting 20% of maize with BW significantly reduced feed cost per kilogram and egg production cost per unit and per dozen (p < 0.05). The inclusion of Conclusion: Replacing 20% of maize with BW, with or without
