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

Dietary zinc oxide (ZnO) is widely adopted in the swine industry to alleviate post-weaning diarrhea and promote the growth performance of weaned pigs. However, its low rate of absorption in the gastrointestinal tract leads to excessive excretion, which causes severe environmental pollution. To overcome this limitation, dietary coated ZnO (CZO) has been studied to enhance zinc absorption and mitigate its environmental influence. In the present study, we investigated the effects of dietary CZO on growth performance, frequency of diarrhea, nutrient digestibility, hematological and immune responses, and fecal microbiota of weaned pigs. A total of 72 weaned pigs (7.30 ± 0.01 kg of average initial body weight; 28 days old) were randomly assigned to three dietary treatments (4 pigs/pen; 6 replicates/treatment): basal weaner diet (CON), CON with 2,500 ppm of ZnO (HZO), and CON with 200 mg/kg of CZO. The experiment was conducted for 6 weeks. The CZO group increased (
