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 study determined the apparent ileal digestibility (AID) and standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA) of corn, barley, and wheat bran in primiparous sows. Four physiological stages of primiparous sows were examined: a gestation stage where sows were restricted-fed, a lactation stage where sows were fed ad libitum, and then two post-weaning stages, an ad libitum-fed phase followed by a restricted-fed phase. A total of 8 primiparous sows fitted with T-cannulas in the distal ileum were assigned to an 8 × 3 Youden square design with 4 diets (corn, barley, wheat bran, and nitrogen [N]-free diet) and three periods, resulting in a total of 6 replicates per treatment. The basal endogenous losses of CP and AA were determined after feeding an N-free diet. For barley, the AID of His, Ile, Lys, and Thr was higher in gestating sows compared to restricted-fed post-weaning sows. For wheat bran, the AID of Ile, Leu, Thr, Val, Ala, Asp, Glu, Gly, Ser, and Tyr was higher in lactating sows compared to gestating sows (P < 0.05). For corn, the AID of CP and most AA did not differ across physiological states. Regarding the SID of barley in gestating sows, only the SID of His was higher than in lactating sows and restricted-fed post-weaning sows (P < 0.01), and the SID of Gly was higher than in lactating sows (P < 0.05). For wheat bran, the SID of Glu, Ser, and Tyr in gestating sows was lower than in lactating sows (P < 0.01). The SID of Val and Tyr in lactating sows was higher than in ad libitum access post-weaning sows (P < 0.05). For corn, the SID of Lys, Ala, and Gly in gestating sows was higher than in lactating sows (P < 0.05). The SID of Ile, Lys, Phe, Thr, and Ala in gestating sows was higher than in ad libitum post-weaning sows (P < 0.05). The findings indicate that similar SID values are found for barley in different physiological stages of primiparous sows under the same diet and feed regime, whether ad libitum or restricted. However, for wheat bran, which has a high fiber content, lactating sows exhibited higher AID values and SID values compared to gestating sows for part of AA. For corn, which has a low fiber content, gestating sows exhibited higher SID values compared to lactating sows and ad libitum post-weaning sows.
