Effects of Dietary Metabolizable Energy and Crude Protein Levels on the Nutrient Metabolism, Gut Development and Microbiota Composition in Jingyuan Chicken.

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.
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 effects of varying dietary metabolizable energy (ME) and crude protein (CP) levels, along with their interactive effects, on the apparent nutrient metabolism, development of digestive organs, intestinal morphology, and microbiota composition in Jingyuan chickens during the growing phase were evaluated. A total of 540 seven-week-old male Jingyuan chickens were randomly assigned to nine groups, with six replicates per group and 10 chickens per replicate. The trial lasted for 11 weeks. A 3 × 3 factorial design was adopted, comprising three levels of ME, namely, low (11.28 MJ/kg, LE group), medium (11.70 MJ/kg, ME group), and high (12.12 MJ/kg, HE group) and three levels of CP, namely, low (14.00%, LP group), medium (15.50%, MP group), and high (17.00%, HP group). The levels of ME and CP, along with their interactions, had significant effects on the average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake, feed conversion ratio (FCR), apparent metabolizable rate of CP, gizzard weight, duodenal lengths, jejunal villus height (VH), crypt depth (CD), and muscle layer thickness (MLT) (
