Feeding frost-damaged or non-frost-damaged, hulled or dehulled, mid- or low-tannin faba bean on diet nutrient digestibility and growth performance of weaned pigs.

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
In cool climates with a short cropping season, faba bean production can be affected by frost. Crop fall frost damage is not uniform, causing blackening in the upper part of the plant. Naturally occurring tannins in faba bean, concentrated on the outer hull, confer field frost tolerance but may reduce starch and protein digestibility. The quality of frost-damaged faba bean may be improved by optical color sorting to segregate blackened beans and dehulling to remove the hull tannins. Therefore, a frost-damaged low-tannin cultivar (Snowbird) was color-sorted into frost-damaged (blackened-colored) and non-frost-damaged (tan-colored). A mid-tannin cultivar (Florent) that was not frost-damaged served as control. One-half of each cultivar sample was dehulled. In a randomized complete block design, 240 pigs (8.9 ± 1.2 kg) housed 4 per pen were fed 1 of 6 diets: (1) Snowbird, (2) dehulled Snowbird, (3) frost-damaged Snowbird, (4) dehulled, frost-damaged Snowbird, (5) Florent, or (6) dehulled Florent. Diets including 20% in phase 1 and 30% faba bean in phase 2 were fed over two 14-day (
