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

This study investigated the effects of essential-to-total amino acid (E:T) ratios in reduced crude protein (CP) diets on broiler performance, gene expression, and cecal microbiota under necrotic enteritis (NE) challenge. A total of 756 mixed-sex 0-d-old Cobb 500 broilers were assigned to six treatments in a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement, with two challenge conditions (yes or no) and three dietary treatments: 17% reduced CP (RCP) with E:T ratio of 0.64 (RCP0.64), 17% RCP with E:T ratio of 0.68 (RCP0.68), and 19% normal CP as control (NCP) from d 9 to 18. Performance was measured from d 8 to 18 post-hatch, while jejunal, spleen, and cecal samples were collected on d 16 for gene expression and microbiota analysis. Results showed a significant interaction between diet and challenge for weight gain (WG;
