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

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of creep feeding on pre- and post-weaning pig performance. In Exp. 1, 96 sows (C29, PIC) and their litters were used to determine the effects of creep feed quality on pre-weaning growth and the proportion of piglets consuming creep feed. Litters were offered one of three treatments: (i) no creep feed, (ii) a simple creep diet, or (iii) a complex creep diet. The simple creep feed was the sow lactation diet which was sorghum-soybean meal based and formulated to 2554 kcal/kg NE and 0.92% standardized ileal digestible (SID) Lys. The complex creep feed was formulated to 2769 kcal/kg of NE, 1.44% SID Lys, 23% lactose, and composed of oat groats, dried whey, and specialty protein sources. Creep feed was offered from d 18 to 21 (weaning) of lactation. Chromic oxide was added to both diets at 1.0% as an inert, colored fecal marker to identify pigs that consumed (eaters) and did not consume creep feed (non-eaters). Pigs fed the complex creep diet had greater (
