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

Constipation is a common issue in sows, characterized by dry and hard feces or prolonged absence of defecation, which exerts adverse effects on the overall health and reproductive performance of sows. While dietary neutral detergent fiber (NDF), due to its physicochemical properties, can enhance satiety and promote gastrointestinal health. The present study aims to determine the effect of different dietary NDF intake levels on reducing constipation without impairing the reproductive capacity of gestating sows. A total of 110 primiparous crossbred gilts (Landrace × Yorkshire) were randomly assigned to five groups with different NDF levels of 19.28% (Group A), 21.36% (Group B), 22.08% (Group C), 22.67% (Group D), and 23.43% (Group E), respectively. The daily feed intake was adjusted across groups to ensure a gradual increase in NDF intake from Group A to Group E, while maintaining consistent intake of other nutrients. The results revealed that dietary higher NDF intake (Groups D and E) significantly reduced the rates of constipation and stereotypic behaviors in gilts (
