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

This experiment aimed to investigate the effects of bacteria-enzyme co-fermented Chinese herbal medicine on growth performance, apparent nutrient digestibility, meat quality, and immune function in broilers. Four hundred one-day-old, uniformly healthy Arbor Acres broiler chicks were randomly divided into 5 groups with 8 replicates of 10 chicks each. Using a single-factor randomized design, the control group received a basal diet, the unfermented herbs group received the basal diet supplemented with 1% unfermented Chinese herbal medicine, and three treatment groups received the basal diet supplemented with 0.5, 1, and 1.5% bacteria-enzyme co-fermented Chinese herbal medicine, respectively. The feeding trial lasted 42 days. Upon completion, three broilers were randomly selected from each replicate for a 4-day metabolism trial to determine apparent nutrient digestibility. Results showed that compared to the control group, the final body weight and average daily gain were significantly increased (
