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 current study's objective was to assess the relationship between animal growth performance, feed intake, carcass traits, feeding behavior, gas flux, and relative profitability of implanted and non-implanted finishing Angus steers. Sixty-two steers were blocked according to body weight into 2 pens and fed for 52 and 80 d, respectively. Steers within each pen were randomly assigned to a treatment: implanted with Component TE200 (IMP; Elanco Animal Health, Greenfield, IN) or not implanted (CON). Each pen was equipped with one GreenFeed automate head chamber system (AHCS) and 5 SmartFeed systems (C-Lock, Rapid City, SD) for gas flux and feed intake measurements, respectively. Data were analyzed as a randomized complete block design using JMP Pro (16.2.0), with significance declared at
