Effects of xylooligosaccharide supplementation on performance, intestinal morphology, antioxidant capacity and cecal microflora in weaning pigs.
Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Study aimed to investigate the effects of xylooligosaccharide (XOS) supplementation on growth performance, antioxidant capacity, and cecal microorganisms in weaned pigs. Forty-eight 28-day-old hybrid weaned pigs Duroc × (Landrace × Yorkshire) of similar body weight (7.62 ± 0.41 kg) and genetic background were randomly divided into control group (CON) and experimental group (XOS). The CON group was fed a basal diet, and the XOS group was fed a diet supplemented with 500 mg/kg XOS. The pretest period lasted for 7 days, and the test period lasted for 28 days. Compared with the CON group, the XOS group significantly reduced the feed-to-gain ratio by 5.14%, increased alkaline phosphatase activity in serum, and improved the apparent digestibility of dietary ether extract (EE) and calcium (Ca) in weaned pigs (
