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 study explored the effects of fermented corn germ meal (FCGM) on growth performance, inflammatory response, and intestinal microbiota in broiler chickens. A total of 180 one-d-old AA broilers (initial average body weight of 39.16 ± 0.05 g) were randomly divided into three groups: CON group, basal diet; CGM group, basal diet supplemented with 7% corn germ meal (CGM); FCGM group, basal diet supplemented with 7% FCGM. Each group contained 6 replicates with 10 broilers per replicate. The experimental period lasted for 42 d. Compared with unfermented CGM, fermentation significantly increased the contents of crude protein (CP), lactic acid (LA), acetic acid (AA), and propionic acid (PA) (
