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

The optimal timing for initiating starter feeding in lambs remains controversial, warranting a systematic evaluation of its effects across multiple indicators. This study investigated the effects of initiating starter feeding at 7, 14, or 21 days of age on growth performance, rumen fermentation, serum immunity, gastrointestinal development, and microbiota in Hu lambs. Forty-five newborn lambs were randomly assigned to three groups (
