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
Amino acid balanced cottonseed meal can effectively replace soybean meal in sheep diets, improving energy utilization without harming growth or health. This study aimed to investigate the effects of replacing soybean meal with cottonseed meal under amino acid balance on growth performance, blood biochemical indices, apparent digestibility, antioxidant function, and ruminal microbial diversity in fattening Dorper × Hu crossbred sheep. A total of 112 healthy 90-day-old Dorper × Hu crossbred rams with similar body weights were randomly divided into 4 groups with 28 sheep each, for a 63-day trial. The control group (CON) was fed a corn-soybean meal diet; T1 group replaced 50% soybean meal with cottonseed meal and balanced lysine and methionine; T2 group replaced 100% soybean meal with cottonseed meal and balanced lysine and methionine; T3 group replaced 100% soybean meal with degossypolized cottonseed meal and balanced lysine and methionine. Results showed no significant differences among groups in average daily gain, average daily dry matter intake, feed conversion ratio, blood biochemical indices, antioxidant indices, and ruminal microbial
