Evaluation of dietary crude protein and non-starch polysaccharidase on nursery pig performance, nitrogen retention, hindgut fermentation and health.
Article in Translational animal science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Reducing dietary crude protein (CP) in nursery pig diets is a strategy to decrease post-weaning diarrhea (PWD), optimize feed costs, and reduce nitrogen excretion. One way by which high CP (HCP) diets increase PWD involve potentially cytotoxic proteolytic fermentation metabolites produced in the hindgut from unabsorbed proteins. Increasing dietary fiber fermentability with carbohydrase inclusion may mitigate this modality by shifting microbial fermentation towards carbohydrate substrate. To evaluate these interactions, a 3 × 2 factorial design assessed pig performance, nitrogen retention, hindgut fermentation, and health outcomes using high- and low- CP diets with or without a non-starch polysaccharidase (NSPase; xylanase). A total of 792 newly weaned 17 to 22- d-old mixed sex pigs (6.2 ± 0.12 kg body weight [BW]) were randomly allotted to three CP diets with or without NSPase (
