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
This study investigated the effect of the revision of Japan's Carcass Trading Standard for Pork (CTSP) in January 2023, which increased the optimal carcass weight (CWT) range by 3 kg, on the profitability and growth productivity of commercial pig farms. We analyzed data from 116 Japanese farrow-to-finish farms in 2022 and 2023. The study found that the mean CWT significantly increased from 76.1 to 77.1 kg (p < 0.05), with 77% of farms increasing their CWT. Statistical analysis revealed that farms that had increased their CWT by more than 2 kg saw a significantly higher increase in margin over feed cost per market pig compared with farms that had decreased their CWT (p < 0.05). This increased profit was primarily driven by higher sales revenue per market pig owing to the increased CWT, while feed cost per pig was statistically similar across all change groups. In conclusion, the CTSP revision successfully encouraged most farms to increase CWT, providing a clear economic advantage in terms of margin over feed cost.
