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

In this study, we aimed to assess the availability and environmental impact of a selection of widespread agro-industrial by-products in Europe and their potential to reduce the environmental impact of small ruminant diets by replacing conventional feed ingredients. Grape, olive, and tomato pomaces and spent grains of beer were considered. The carbon footprint of products (CFP) was used to quantify the environmental impact of agro-industrial by-products, according to the ISO 14067:2018 standard. The system boundary was defined as gate-to-gate, and 1 kg of dried by-product was chosen as the functional unit (FU). The system included the relevant stages of agro-industrial by-product production, from the process of drying agro-industrial by-products to the treatments carried out in the feed industry (e.g., milling, mixing, and pelleting). The CFPs of grape, olive, and tomato pomaces and spent beer grains were 0.26, 0.22, 0.31, and 0.21 kg CO
