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 two experimental approaches, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of increasing levels of soybean hulls (SBH) (Exp. 1) and the withdrawal of high SBH from diets prior to marketing (Exp. 2) on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of nutrients in grow-finish pigs. In Exp. 1 (n = 12 pens/treatment), 192 pigs (initial BW 21.99 ± 2.75 kg) were fed a corn-soybean meal-based diet containing 0% (0SBH), 7.5% (7.5SBH), 15% (15SBH), or 22.5% (22.5SBH) SBH. In Exp. 2 (n = 15 pens/treatment), 240 pigs (initial BW 26.5 ± 3.03 kg) were fed either 0SBH or 22.5SBH continuously until marketing (-0d) or switched from 22.5SBH to 0SBH either 27 (-27d) or 13 (-13d) days before marketing. Pig body weight (BW) and feed disappearance were measured to calculate average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI), and feed efficiency (G:F). A balance study was conducted on 32 gilts (n = 8 pigs/treatment) of Exp. 1 beginning on d 56 to determine ATTD of nutrients. Hot carcass weight (HCW), back fat depth (FD), loin depth (LD), and carcass yield were recorded at the processing plant. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, with linear and quadratic contrasts applied for Exp. 1. Pen served as the experimental unit for live performance and carcass characteristics and pig as the experimental unit for ATTD analyses in Exp. 1. In Exp. 1, increasing SBH levels linearly decreased G:F (
