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

backgroundModelling growth allows nutritionists and poultry researchers to predict dynamic or daily nutrient needs more precisely than using fixed requirements.

objectivesThis study evaluated the monomolecular model and artificial neural network (ANN) to describe the relationship between metabolizable energy (ME) intake and body weight gain (BWG) in commercial strains of different egg-type pullets.

methodsA multi-layer feed-forward perceptron neural network structure was used to construct the ANN model. The best-fitted network on input data to predict BWG from ME intake in all egg-type pullets' strains was obtained with one neuron in the input layer, three neurons in the first hidden layer, two neurons in the second hidden layer and one neuron in the output layer, which was written as 1-3-2-1.

resultsThe relationship between ME intake and BWG in different egg-type pullet strains was predicted with very high accuracy by both ANN (R

conclusionsThis study demonstrated that both the monomolecular model and ANN approaches effectively described the relationship between ME intake and BWG in egg-type pullets.
