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 aimed to evaluate the impacts of dietary inclusion of citrus pomace on growth performance, intestinal morphology, digestive enzyme activity, antioxidant status, and colonic microbiota in Tibetan pigs in a 90-day feeding trial. Eighty Tibetan pigs (75-day-age, 16.62 ± 1.50 kg) were divided into four dietary treatment groups, each containing four replicates with five pigs per replicate. The experimental diets comprised a control diet alongside three diets incorporating 5%, 10%, or 15% citrus pomace, respectively. The results showed that the feed conversion ratio of pigs was lower in the 5% citrus pomace group compared to the other three treatment groups. Compared to the control group, dietary inclusion of 5% citrus pomace increased villus height in the duodenum and jejunum of pigs. Additionally, it elevated β-amylase activity in the duodenum while increasing sucrase activity in the jejunum. Furthermore, dietary inclusion of 5% citrus pomace enhanced lipase activity in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum of pigs compared to the control group. It also significantly increased catalase activity in the serum of pigs. However, dietary inclusion of 5% citrus pomace decreased the abundances of
