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

Sesame meal possesses high crude protein content (40-50%), abundant methionine, and natural antioxidant components such as lignan compounds, making it a high-quality feed alternative to soybean meal in ruminant production. This study systematically evaluated the effects of completely replacing soybean meal with sesame meal in the diet on growth performance, serum biochemistry, antioxidant activity, rumen fermentation parameters, and microbial composition in finishing beef cattle. The trial employed a completely randomised design, selecting 18 Angus bulls with similar initial body weights (566.7 ± 38.1 kg). Animals were randomly assigned to the SBM group (
