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

The transition of pig farming to intensive production, along with the shortening of the weaning age to 21-28 days, has led to increased use of in-feed antibiotic growth promoters (AGP). Following the ban on AGP in 2006 and the pharmacological level (2500 ppm) of zinc oxide in 2022 in Europe, the need for natural alternatives in pig production during weaning has substantially increased. Recently, brown macroalgae (BMA) have attracted considerable interest due to their diverse bioactive compounds with significant health-promoting potential. Therefore, this review emphasizes the use of BMA as a natural alternative to AGP use in pig health and production. Particularly, BMA-derived health-promoting compounds, potential uses, and limitations of using macroalgal biomass in pig health and production have been discussed.
