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

Skin color is a crucial phenotypic trait in poultry that influences consumer preference, market value, and breed identification. However, the mechanisms underlying skin color variation in Lingshan chickens remain poorly understood. This study aimed to elucidate the physiological, metabolic, and microbial characteristics associated with skin color differences in male Lingshan chickens. A total of 210 castrated male Lingshan chickens were categorized into white-shanked (WS), yellow-shanked (YS), and red-shanked (RS) groups based on the Roche color fan scores. The results showed that chickens in the YS and RS groups exhibited significantly higher body weights and pigmentation levels in the shank, breast, and abdominal skin compared to those in the WS group (
