Effects of Different Net Energy Levels in Low-Protein Diversified Diets on Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility, Carcass Characteristics, Meat Quality, and Colonic Microbiota in Finishing Pigs.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In China, the application of low-protein, low-soybean meal diversified feeding strategies exhibits significant importance for reducing the dependence on soybean meal imports, lowering livestock and poultry feed costs, and decreasing nitrogen emissions from animal husbandry. Dietary protein content reduction modulates energy metabolism, while nonconventional feed ingredients alter energy efficiency. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of varying net energy (NE) levels on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, carcass characteristics, meat quality, and colonic microbiota in finishing pigs fed low-protein diversified diets. A total of 108 Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire pigs (initial body weight: 79.8 ± 6.5 kg) were randomly assigned to six treatment groups: one control group fed a conventional corn-soybean meal diet with normal crude protein (CP) content and five groups fed low-protein diversified diets with different NE levels. The experiment was conducted over 49 days. During the 80-100 kg phase, pigs receiving the low-protein diversified diet exhibited a 9.12% improvement in feed-to-gain ratio (F/G) compared to the control group (
