Increasing arginine supplementation alleviated heat stress and citrulline can effectively substitute arginine in broilers.

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 was conducted to determine the optimal standard ileal digestible (SID) arginine (Arg) to SID lysine (Lys) ratio in broilers under cyclic heat stress. Additionally this study tested whether citrulline (Cit) can replace Arg under cyclic heat stress, based on the report that a large amount of Arg is metabolized in the liver while Cit can by-pass metabolism in the liver. A total of 360, one-day-old Arbor Acres broiler chickens with initial body weight of 34.50 ± 0.87 g were placed in 24 pens. The 24 pens were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments with six replicates of fifteen broiler chickens. Treatments were as follows: 1) NC (SID Arg : Lys =0.95), 2) PC (SID Arg : Lys=1.05), 3) Arg1.15 (SID Arg : Lys =1.15), 4) Arg1.25 (SID Arg : Lys =1.25), 5) Cit33 (supplementation of Cit at 33% of Arg supplementation in Arg1.15, 6) Cit50 (supplementation of Cit at 50% of Arg in Arg1.15). The Arg1.25 group had the highest BW on 32 days and BWG during the overall period (
