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

With the transition from grazing to stall-feeding due to overgrazing and pasture limitations, antibiotics are often overused in intensive goat farming to control diseases and promote growth. However, this practice contradicts the concept of antibiotic-free livestock production. Therefore, effective alternatives are urgently needed to reduce antibiotic usage while ensuring healthy growth. To explore the application of probiotics in animal feed, we selected 3-month-old healthy male Yudong black goats with similar body weights (18.61 ± 0.61 kg). They were randomly divided into two groups: a control group (CON) fed a basal diet and a probiotic group (PRO) supplemented with 1 mL of Bacillus subtilis LN077 per kilogram of feed (as-fed basis) for 60 days. Compared with the CON group, the PRO group presented significantly greater FW and ADG (P < 0.05). Serum T-SOD, GSH-Px activity, T-AOC, and IgG levels were significantly increased, whereas IL-6 and TNF-α levels were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). The rumen NH
