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

The performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality of Jersey male calves in feedlots were evaluated to determine the optimal feeding program and weaning age for improved growth performance and meat quality. Jersey male calves were paired according to birth and weaned at either 30 or 60 days of age. They were then assigned to one of two feeding groups, both receiving high-energy, isonitrogenous total mixed rations (TMR): a high-grain diet containing 12% forage and 47 % neutral detergent fiber (NDF), or a forage-free diet with 0% forage and 17% NDF. Average Daily Gain (ADG) was evaluated for 265 days after TMR adaptation. All data were analyzed using a completely randomized design in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement, evaluating two main effects and their interaction. ADG was higher when steers were weaned later (0.923 vs. 0.829 kg/d,
