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

Apple pomace (AP) and hempseed cake (HC) are used for replacing conventional feed ingredients in dairy farming, but their effects on energy partitioning remains insufficiently explored. This study investigated the effects of dietary inclusion of AP silage and HC to mid-lactation dairy cows on lactation performance and energy utilisation efficiency. Fifteen dairy cows (133 ± 2.6 d in milk, 637 ± 13.1 body weight, 2.4 ± 0.28 parities) were used in a 3 (treatments) × 3 (periods) Latin square design study with three treatments and three periods (24 d/period). Treatment diets included (dry matter [DM] basis) control (CON, basal diet containing 50.0% concentrates, 45.7% grass silage and 4.3% barley straw), AP (10% of AP replaced grass silage in the CON diet), and HC diets (10% of HC replaced concentrates in the CON diet). Dietary inclusion of AP or HC significantly increased DM intake (DMI) by 6.7% and 3.4% (
