Impact of zinc oxide levels and probiotic supplementation in weaning-to-finishing pig diets: productivity, gut microbial composition, and environmental implications.

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
The study aimed to assess the impact of dietary zinc oxide (ZnO) combined with probiotic supplementation on the performance, fecal characteristics, meat quality, noxious gas emissions, and microbiome composition in weaning-to-finishing pigs. The experiment was conducted using 200 weaned pigs (3 barrows and 2 gilts per pen) with an average body weight of 6.65 ± 0.66 kg, randomly distributed across four treatments, each repeated ten times. The dietary treatments were: 1) TRT1, basal diet + ZnO 75 ppm; 2) TRT2, basal diet + ZnO 75 ppm + probiotic 0.3% → basal diet + ZnO 75 ppm + probiotic 0.1% → basal diet + ZnO 75 ppm + probiotic 0.1%; 3) TRT3, basal diet + ZnO 2,500 ppm → basal diet + ZnO 2,500 ppm → basal diet + ZnO 75 ppm; 4) TRT4, basal diet + ZnO 2,500 ppm + probiotic 0.3% → basal diet + ZnO 2,500 ppm + probiotic 0.1% → basal diet + ZnO 75 ppm + probiotic 0.1%, TRT1 was consistent for all and variations in ZnO and probiotic doses in TRT2, TRT3, and TRT4 were applied phase-wise (weaning → growing → finishing). The treatment groups supplemented with probiotics (TRT2 and TRT4) exhibited significantly higher (
