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

Background: Improving the nutritional quality and productivity of guinea pigs is a priority in Peruvian livestock production, driving the search for sustainable feeding strategies. However, there is little evidence on the use of tropical grasses and their impact on the performance and carcass composition of Kuri guinea pigs. Aim: To evaluate the effect of three forage species on the productive performance and carcass nutritional value of Kuri guinea pigs. Methods: Forty-five weaned female guinea pigs, 15 days old, were randomly distributed into three treatments (15 animals per group): T1 = corn fodder ( Results: Guinea pigs fed with corn fodder showed higher weight gain ( Conclusion: The corn fodder-based diet improved weight gain in Kuri guinea pigs; however, those fed with kurume grass exhibited better carcass nutritional quality.
