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

In this work we aimed to increase the food potential of UK pasture by coupling targeted mechanochemical processing and novel biotechnology to convert silage into edible protein and lipid fractions. To this end, the water-soluble protein and vitamins were extracted from silage using a twin-screw extruder at room temperature. The extrusion of the silage was optimized in water with no additional chemicals. Under optimal conditions, 22 wt% of the silage was solubilized, with this fraction containing 52% of the protein present from the original material. The protein contained key essential amino acids with a profile similar to soy protein. Vitamins B
