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
Introduction: The cost of animal feed is a serious limiting factor in livestock production in arid and semi-arid regions. This study investigated whether a locally formulated total mixed ration (TMR) based on date palm by-products, fish processing waste, and Methods: Twenty intact male Omani lambs (initial body weight 20.5 ± 2.3 kg, approximately 5 months old) were randomly assigned to two dietary treatments ( Results: Commercial TMR lambs gained significantly more total weight (11.30 vs. 6.37 kg; Discussion/conclusion: Despite lower fiber digestibility and metabolizable energy availability than commercial TMR, which translated to reduced growth performance, the formulated TMR offered substantial economic benefits with a 68.5% reduction in daily feeding cost and a 41.3% lower feed cost per kg live weight gain compared to commercial TMR. Meat quality, hot carcass weight, cold carcass weight, and hematological profiles were unaffected, and internal fat deposition was reduced by 35.4%. The formulated TMR represents a viable and cost-effective option for sheep production in arid regions where date palm by-products, fish waste, and
