Effects of Pueraria extracts on growth performance, immune function, and immune-related gene expression of Wuzhishan piglets.
Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Pueraria extracts contain phytoestrogens, particularly isoflavones such as daidzein and genistein, which have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries due to their various health benefits. Wuzhishan pig is a small pig unique to China, native to Wuzhishan, Hainan Province. Pueraria extracts have been widely utilized in the production of various animals. However, there are relatively few reports regarding their application in piglets, particularly in local pig breeds. The experiment aimed to investigate the effects of dietary Pueraria extracts on the growth performance, immune function, and immune-related gene expression of Wuzhishan piglets. Forty-eight piglets were randomly divided into four groups, each with six replicates and two piglets in each replicate. The control group (CON) was fed the basal diet, and the other groups were given 400, 600, and 800 mg/kg Pueraria extracts (PE1, PE2, and PE3, respectively). Compared with the CON, (1) the dietary Pueraria extracts increased the average daily gain and decreased the feed conversion ratio in PE2 and PE3 (
