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

Cattle feed efficiency can influence operating costs and revenues, and it is a complex phenotype that can be measured by different metrices. The objective of this study was to determine which microbial taxa in the ruminal and fecal microbiomes of Angus bulls are associated with residual feed intake (RFI), residual average daily gain (RADG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), and adjusted feed conversion ratio (AFCR) by using a large sample size. The metrics RFI and RADG are calculated from the difference between an animal's actual feed intake and actual gain, to their predicted intake and gain, respectively, and AFCR is the FCR adjusted for the animal's size.
