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
Stimulation of compensatory growth by refeeding after a period of fasting has been used as an economical strategy of growth and body composition manipulation in aquaculture practice. In this study, a total of 300 turbot juveniles, at 85 d post hatch with an initial weight of 5.53 ± 0.06 g, were randomly allocated to 15 tanks (20 fish/tank). The control group was continuously fed, while the four experimental groups were subjected to fasting for 3, 6, 9, or 12 d, respectively, followed by a 60-d refeeding. Each feeding strategy was applied to triplicate tanks. Fish were hand-fed a commercial feed (containing 54.0% protein, 8.0% lipid, and 21.6 MJ/kg gross energy) to apparent satiation. Sampling was conducted at the end of refeeding. Early fasting for 3 to 12 d resulted in final growth retardation compared to the control. This growth inhibition was closely correlated to the fasting duration. The 12-d fasting group showed significantly lower (
