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

backgroundThe effects of harvest weights on composition, amino acid (AA) digestibility and metabolizable energy (ME

resultsThe AA concentrations relative to crude protein were similar among the TM larvae variants. Crude protein and crude fat contents did not differ between the larvae variants. Pupae had a lower crude protein and a higher crude fat concentration compared to the larvae variants. The AA concentrations in the fat-free dry matter of TM were low for all harvest weights. Larvae variants did not differ in AA digestibility, whereas pupae showed the highest values. Compared with pupae, larvae had a lower digestibility (P ≤ 0.050) for all AA except Arg and Thr in L60; Arg, Asx, Glx, Lys, and Thr in L100, and all AA except Arg, Asx, Glx, Leu, Phe, Pro, and Thr in L120. The ME

conclusionThe present study did not indicate that partially defatted TM larvae of different harvest weights influenced AA digestibility and ME
