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

This study involved 30 male pigs (DanBred × Duroc), which were divided into three groups of 10 animals each. Control group (C)-immunologically castrated boars with a slaughter weight of 120 kg; and experimental groups: E1-uncastrated boars with a slaughter weight of 120 kg, and E2-uncastrated boars with a slaughter weight of 105 kg. Animals from all groups were fed a complete feed mixture in a liquid form three times a day. After slaughter, their meat and backfat were analysed for the physicochemical parameters and for the contents of indole, skatole, androstenol, and androsterone. A higher protein content was determined in the meat of boars from group E1 (23.48%) compared to those from groups C (22.87%) and E2 (22.99%) (
