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: Increasing evidence indicated resveratrol (RES) and β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyric acid (HMB) regulated several biological processes via modulating gene expression. This study employed transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses to investigate the impact of RES and HMB supplementation, in combination with varying dietary protein levels on hepatic immunity, antioxidant capacity, and morphology in Tibetan sheep. Methods: Two treatments (with or without RES and HMB supplementation) and two dietary protein levels (12% vs. 14% of the basal diet) were tested according to a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement within a Latin square design. A total of 120 healthy two-month-old male Tibetan lambs (16.87 ± 0.31 kg) were randomly allocated for 90-day feeding experiment, with the following treatments: low-protein basal diet without (L group) or with (L-RES + HMB group) supplemental 1.50 g/d RES and 1.25 g/d HMB, and high-protein basal diet without (H group) or with (H-RES + HMB group) supplemental 1.50 g/d RES and 1.25 g/d HMB. Results: The results indicated that the liver tissue structure was predominantly normal in the H-RES + HMB group, devoid of central vein congestion. The catalase (CAT) activity and total antioxidant (T-AOC) capacity were significantly increased when fed the 14% protein diet ( Conclusion: Dietary protein level and RES/HMB supplementation exhibited positively interaction effect on immunity and antioxidant capacity. The 14% protein diet with RES and HMB improved the hepatic function through modulating the gene and metabolite in Tibetan sheep.
