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

This experiment investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with GutPlus® Virsorb probiotic on piglets infected with porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). Seventy-two Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire weaned piglets (21 days of age, 5.51 ± 0.44 kg) were randomly divided into: the CON1 group (negative control, basal diet), the CON2 group (positive control, basal diet), and the GutPlus® Virsorb group (basal diet + 500 g/t GutPlus® Virsorb). At 28 days of age, piglets in the CON2 and GutPlus® Virsorb groups received 40 mL PEDV (8.58 × 10
