Almond hull in lactation sows diet: impact on reproduction, nutrient digestibility, fecal score, milk content, and suckling piglet growth.

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 main objective of this study was to investigate the impact of incorporating dietary almond hull (AH) supplementation on various aspects, including the reproductive and growth performance of sows and their piglets, as well as nutrient digestibility, milk composition, and fecal score. For this purpose, a total of 21 sows (Landrace × Yorkshire), with an average parity of 3.3, were selected and divided into three dietary treatment groups: (i) a control group as basal diet (CON), (ii) the basal diet with 3% AH (TRT1), and (iii) the basal diet with 6% AH (TRT2). This study covered the period from 100th day of pregnancy until weaning. Dietary AH supplementation did not affect lactating sow's reproduction performance as well as body weight, backfat thickness, and body condition score during pre- and post- farrowing, and at weaning. Similarly, body weight loss, backfat thickness loss, average daily feed intake, and estrus interval did not show significant variations among the treatment groups. Furthermore, the inclusion of AH in the diet has not had a discernible impact on nutrient digestibility. However, dietary supplementation of the AH has improved the body weight (
