Effect of phytosterols on the performance, lipid metabolism, and antioxidation capacity of sows.

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
In late gestation, sows undergo drastic changes in lipid metabolism and oxidative stress. Phytosterols are plant-derived compounds that can enhance the antioxidant status and regulate lipid metabolism to improve the growth performance of pigs. The present study examined the impacts of dietary supplement phytosterols on the performance and antioxidant status of sows in late gestation and lactation. Sixty sows were randomly allocated to three groups as follows: Control group (Con; basal diet), Low-concentration phytosterols (LP; basal diets supplemented with 40 mg/kg phytosterols), and High-concentration phytosterols (HP; basal diets supplemented with 80 mg/kg phytosterols). The reproductive performance of sows and growth performance of piglet were recorded and lipid concentration, antioxidative status, and plasma hormone levels of sows were measured. Compared with the Con group, the average body weight of born alive piglets was significantly higher (
