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

Feed efficiency (FE) is an important factor restricting development of the poultry industries. Residual feed intake (RFI) serves as an indicator for measuring FE in breeding initiatives. This study aimed to explore the influence of divergence in RFI on growth performance, carcass traits, meat quality, muscle fiber morphology, and blood chemistry in indigenous chickens. A total of 500 one-day-old male chickens of similar body weight had RFI assessed at 70-120 d. Twenty high RFI (HRFI) and 20 low RFI (LRFI) chickens were evaluated for carcass traits, meat quality, muscle fiber morphology, and blood biochemical parameters. The results showed that although RFI was significantly positively correlated with average daily gain, average daily feed intake (ADFI), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) (P<0.01), no significant correlation existed between the initial, final, and metabolic body weight. Concerning slaughter performance, abdominal fat yield (AFY) and weight (AFW) were lower in the LRFI group (P<0.01). Regarding meat quality, the pH
