Impact of the particle size of wheat bran inclusions in feed on the precaecal gastrointestinal tract fibre particle size distribution, caecal digesta particle size and caecal fibre fermentation in young and growing 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
Including additional dietary fibre fractions in broiler feed has gained renewed interest due to its potential for stimulating (gut) health and performance. The beneficial effects of fibre are mainly due to its fermentation in the caecal lobes, but the influx of digesta into these lobes seems restricted to small particles and solubles. To boost caecal fermentation via fibre inclusions, more knowledge on how fibre particle size in feed can affect the fibre particle size distribution along the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), and hence the caecal influx and the fermentation of fibre, is required. To this end, 78 one-day-old male broilers (Ross 308, average initial weight of 43.96 ± 2.97 g) were divided into 3 treatment groups (
