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
Tropical wheat cultivars can serve as an alternative to corn silage as a second-crop forage in the Cerrado region. This study aimed to evaluate the intake, digestibility, milk performance, and feeding behavior of crossbred Holstein × Gyr dairy cows fed diets containing increasing levels of wheat silage as a replacement for corn silage. Twelve cows with 518 kg body weight and 10.89 kg/day of milk production were used. The animals were distributed in three 4 × 4 Latin squares, balanced according to lactation stage. Treatments consisted of four levels of wheat silage replacing corn silage on a dry matter (DM) basis: 0%, 33%, 67%, and 100%. Intakes of DM, organic matter, and neutral detergent fiber were higher (P < 0.05) in cows fed diets containing 0% and 33% wheat silage. Cows fed 0% wheat silage had higher acid detergent fiber intake than cows fed wheat silage (P < 0.05). DM digestibility, nutrient digestibility, milk production, and feed efficiency did not differ (P > 0.05) between treatments. The diet with 100% wheat silage inclusion resulted in higher concentrations of milk urea nitrogen (P < 0.05). Feeding behavior was not affected (P > 0.05) by wheat silage inclusion levels. Wheat silage can replace or partially replace corn silage in diets for crossbred dairy cows without compromising milk production or composition.
