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

Plant polysaccharides, such as Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) and Glycyrrhiza polysaccharide (GPS), have potential as functional feed additives. This study investigated the effects of dietary APS and GPS on growth-related traits, serum biochemical and immune indices, antioxidant capacity, intestinal health, and microbial diversity in early-weaned squabs. A total of 192 15-day-old Silver King squabs were randomly divided into four groups: the control group (CK), the 800 mg/kg APS group, the 450 mg/kg GPS group, and the APS + GPS combination group (AG group), with 12 replicates per group and 4 squabs per replicate. The experiment lasted for 28 days. The results showed that final body weight tended to be higher in the APS, GPS, and AG groups, whereas breast width and breast depth were significantly increased in the GPS and AG groups (
