Digestibility of Energy and Concentrations of Digestible and Metabolizable Energy in Pistachio Shell Powder and in Soybean Hulls Fed to Growing 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
The hypothesis that the values obtained for the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of energy and digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) in pistachio shell powder are not different from the values obtained for soybean hulls when fed to growing pigs. A basal diet containing corn, a diet containing corn and 20% pistachio shell powder, and a diet containing corn and 20% soybean hulls were formulated. Twenty-four growing pigs (initial body weight: 32.0 ± 1.7 kg) were allotted to the three diets in a randomized complete block design with eight pigs per diet. After a 7-d adaptation period, feces and urine were quantitatively collected for 4 days. The diets and feces were analyzed for dry matter, and all samples were analyzed for gross energy (GE). The results indicated that the ATTD of GE was greater (
