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
The post-weaning period represents a critical phase in swine production, often associated with increased disease susceptibility, impaired growth performance, and a consequent high antibiotic use. Therefore, innovative nutritional strategies based on functional feed additives are gaining increasing attention as strategies to support intestinal health and reduce the need for antimicrobials. This study evaluated the effects of dietary supplementation with a blend of organic acids and cinnamaldehyde on growth performance, health status, and antibiotic use in weaned piglets. A total of 148 piglets (Landrace × Large White; 28 ± 1 days of age) were allocated to two dietary treatments for 54 days: a control group (CTRL) receiving a standard basal diet, and a treatment group (TRT) fed the same diet supplemented with 0.1% of a blend containing propionic acid, formic acid, sodium formate, propionic acid glycerides, butyric acid glycerides, and cinnamaldehyde. Growth performance parameters were recorded, and health status was assessed through mortality, antibiotic treatments, and the occurrence of lesions. Piglets in the TRT group showed a significantly higher final body weight (
