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 evaluated the effects of dietary supplementation with a commercial lactoferrin-osteopontin complexes preparation (LF-OPN; LF:OPN mass ratio 8:1; 240 mg/kg body weight) on growth, immune indices, antioxidant status, intestinal barrier-related markers, fecal microbiota, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), peripheral lymphocyte subsets, and the whole-blood transcriptome of growing British Shorthair kittens. Sixteen kittens were randomly assigned to either a basal diet group (CON) or a group supplemented with LF-OPN complexes (LFT) for 28 days. LF-OPN supplementation did not significantly affect body weight or average daily gain. On D28, the LFT group had a higher serum immunoglobulin M concentration and a lower tumor necrosis factor-α concentration (
