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
Introduction: Plant extracts have been noted to be effective against multiple bacterial and viral pathogens. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of a preparation based on nanoencapsulated thymol, carvacrol and cinnamaldehyde administered in the feed to farrowing sows on piglet production parameters. Material and Methods: The farrowing group unit had a stocking density of 1,100 pens, divided into groups of 25 stalls. The experiment was carried out in a group of 168 sows. The animals were selected and placed in the farrowing house in a randomised procedure. The animals were divided into two equal groups (84 animals in each), a control group and an experimental group. Appropriate biosecurity rules were applied and adhered to for each stage of production. Results: The results showed positive effects of the supplement in feed in terms of average birth weight of litters and of piglets and number of piglet days fed by the sow. The experimental group of farrowing sows showed more effective feed consumption, better condition of the sows during weaning of the piglets, more even litters in terms of health and a significantly lower number of piglet deaths. Conclusion: The use of the preparation positively influenced the number of piglets sold, with 88.5% reaching the market in the experimental group compared to 82.6% in the control group. In addition, fewer abortions and less lameness were observed in the experimental group than in the control group. The piglets born of control group sows performed worse economically than piglets born of experimental group sows, requiring feeding or being sold underweight.
