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

This experiment investigated the effects of two rearing systems, cage and free-range, on growth performance, serum biochemical parameters, slaughter performance, cecal microbiota, and hepatic metabolism of yellow-feathered broilers. A total of 240 healthy 21-day-old Liangfenghua yellow-feathered male broilers with similar body weight were randomly assigned to a cage group (LY) and a free-range group (SY), with 10 replicates per group and 12 birds per replicate. All birds were fed the same diet until 63 days of age. Compared with the LY group, the SY group had significantly lower final body weight, average daily gain, and abdominal fat percentage (
