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 dose-dependent effects of dietary N-carbamylglutamate (NCG) on muscle growth, nutrient composition, and metabolic profiles in Danzhou chickens. A total of 480 one-day-old female Danzhou chicks were randomly assigned to diets supplemented with 0, 400, 800, or 1200 mg/kg NCG for 35 days and slaughtered at 35 days of age. NCG at 400-800 mg/kg improved growth performance, increased crude protein and free amino acids (arginine, methionine), and altered fatty acid composition in a muscle-specific manner, with increased breast-muscle MUFA and decreased leg-muscle arachidonic acid and DHA; total PUFA did not differ. Histological analysis showed that NCG increased leg-muscle fiber cross-sectional area and Feret diameter, accompanied by a reduction in fiber density. Mechanistically, NCG altered the mRNA expression of
