Relationships Between Fiber in Feedlot Diets and Growth Performance of Beef Cattle.

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
A database (110 treatment means from 23 studies) was derived from the peer-reviewed literature to evaluate the effects of various measures of dietary fiber on growth performance of feedlot cattle. The measures of diet fibrousness were the percentage of traditional roughage sources in the diet, the percentage of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) supplied by traditional roughages, and the total dietary concentration of NDF. The growth performance variables evaluated were dry matter intake, average daily gain, gain-feed ratio, and hot carcass weight. Mixed-model regression methods were used to adjust for random slope and intercept effects associated with studies, and study-adjusted data were evaluated to assess the effects of each of the measures of fibrousness on each of the measures of growth performance. The quality of the regression relationships was assessed by determining the significance of slope and intercept estimates, the root mean square error and the associated coefficient of variation, and the coefficient of determination (r
