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

Introduction: Weaned piglets face growth challenges due to low feed intake and weaning stress. Palm oil (PO) rich in long-chain saturated fatty acids may optimize nutrition, but appropriate replacement ratios and mechanisms remain unclear. Methods: 144 weaned piglets were randomly assigned to four groups (CON: 4% soybean oil (SO); T1-T3: 25%, 50%, 100% SO replaced by PO) for 35 days. Growth performance, nutrient digestibility, intestinal health, gene expression, and gut microbiota were measured. Results: T1 and T3 improved average daily gain (ADG) and reduced feed/gain ratio (0-14 d, Discussion: Moderate PO replacement (25%) balances growth promotion and digestibility, while high replacement (100%) improves gut barrier function and appetite. PO regulates growth via fatty acid composition, appetite-related genes, and gut microbiota.
