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 the breeding of farm animals, music serves as an environmental enrichment factor that can improve the mood and welfare level of animals. However, it is not clear whether pigs receiving different modes of musical stimulation can improve cognitive performance. This study aimed to explore the extent to which different music stimulation methods affect the cognitive ability-related behaviors and neural substances of weaned piglets by providing them with various music stimuli. Fifty-four piglets were randomly divided into three groups: control group (C Group), continuous music group (CM group), and intermittent music group (IM group). The CM group received half an hour of music stimulation in the morning and afternoon of each day when the piglets were active, the IM group was given a cross-stimulation mode between the music playing time and the music pause time, and the C group had a music player installed in the enclosure, but no music was played, and the test period was 3 d. The results of the study showed the following: (1) Compared with piglets in the C group, piglets in the CM and IM groups showed more exploring behavior and less aggressive behavior (
