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

backgroundAlmond hulls (AH) are the main by-product of almond processing for human consumption and contain bioactive compounds that can improve meat quality. Although AH are used as feed for dairy cows in some countries, information on their potential effects on meat quality is limited. This study evaluated the effects of partly replacing conventional feeds with AH in the concentrate of light lambs on carcass traits and meat quality.

resultsThirty Manchega lambs (15 females and 15 males) were divided into three homogenous groups according to body weight and sex, and each was fed a concentrate containing 0, 60 or 120 g AH kg

conclusionReplacing conventional feeds with up to 120 g AH kg
