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
Our objective was to evaluate the effects of feeding sesame hulls (SH) on carcass characteristics, meat quality, and the fatty acid profile of meat in lambs. Twenty-four male lambs (initial body weight = 21.8 ± 1.35 kg; age = 75 ± 2.5 d) were randomly assigned to three dietary treatments. The CON group received 0 g/kg of SH, whereas the other two groups were given either 75 g/kg (SH75) or 150 g/kg (SH150) of SH on a dry matter (DM) basis. A 10-d acclimatization period preceded the 110-d feeding trial used to collect data. Fasting live weight was greater (P < 0.05) in lambs fed the SH diets than in those fed the CON diet. Hot and cold carcass weights were greater in lambs fed 150 g/kg SH compared with CON. Water holding capacity increased (P < 0.05) in the SH150 group, whereas shear force decreased (P < 0.05) in the SH75 group. Sesame hulls feeding decreased (P ≤ 0.01) the concentrations of C12:0, C13:0, C17:0, C18:0, and C21:0, resulting in a lower total saturated fatty acid (SFA) content (P = 0.003) compared with the CON diet. Conversely, the content of C18:1 cis+trans (n-9) and total monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) was greater in the SH groups than in the CON group. In summary, sesame hulls are a viable, sustainable alternative feed that can maintain or enhance carcass characteristics and meat quality. Supplementation of SH also improved the fatty acid profile by decreasing SFA and increasing MUFA and n-3 fatty acids.
