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
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of supplementing high-concentrate diets for sheep with green propolis extract (PRO) from Mimosa tenuiflora or with salinomycin (SAL) on feed intake, apparent digestibility, nitrogen balance, and water balance. Three sheep, ½ Dorper x ½ Santa Inês, were assigned to a 3 × 3 Latin Square design, repeated over time, totaling six replicates per treatment. The animals were castrated, with a mean age of 26 months and a weight of 47.94 ± 4.73 kg. The treatment diets were control (CON); CON + 24 mg SAL/kg DM (SAL); and CON + 24 mL PRO/day (PRO). The experiment lasted 102 days, each consisting of 17 days of adaptation and five days of data collection. Intake of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber, and non-fibrous carbohydrates did not differ (P > 0.05) between the additives. However, total digestible nutrient (TDN) intake was lower (P < 0.05) for the SAL diet. Similarly, the SAL diet tended to reduce the apparent digestibility of DM (P = 0.0542), OM (P = 0.0573), CP (P = 0.0662), and TDN (P = 0.0836) in sheep. In addition, SAL-fed sheep absorbed and retained less (P < 0.05) nitrogen than those fed the CON and PRO diets. Supplementation with salinomycin at 24 mg/kg DM impairs energy intake and nitrogen utilization by sheep. Supplementation with 24 mL/day of green propolis extract does not affect energy intake and nitrogen use by sheep.
