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

Reduction in dietary crude protein (CP) levels is recognized to potentially limit piglet growth. Synchronising blood amino acids and glucose peaks may improve the performance of piglets fed low-CP diets. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a feeding plan with a low-CP diet and a reduced amylose to amylopectin (AM/AP) ratio, in the second phase, on performance, faecal microbiota and metabolites, and behaviour of nursery pigs. A total of 540 nursery pigs (28 ± 2 d) were fed either a medium-CP (CTR:16.6%, 180 pigs) or low-CP (LCP: 14.9%, 360 pigs) diet during phase 1 (d0 to 21), and then assigned to one of three phase 2 diets (d 21 to 63): medium-CP (CTR: 17.2%;180 pigs), low-CP with normal AM/AP ratio (LP: 15%; 0.17, 180 pigs), or low-CP with reduced AM/AP ratio (LPLA:15%; 0.08, 180 pigs). On d43 and 63, LP and LPLA pigs showed lower body weight than CTR pigs (
