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

Reducing dietary crude protein (CP) levels while supplementing with essential amino acids (AA) has been widely studied as a strategy to maintain nutrient balance while lowering nitrogen excretion. Among feed additives, N-carbamylglutamate (NCG), an arginine precursor with superior stability and mitochondrial permeability, has emerged as a promising feed additive for improving intestinal development and overall pig performance. A total of 240 crossbred grower pigs were allotted to four dietary treatments based on initial body weight. Treatments were arranged in a 2 × 2 factorial design with two levels of dietary CP (MCP, 16% moderate CP; LCP, 14% low CP) and two levels of NCG supplementation (without NCG [WN]; NS, 0.1% NCG supplementation). Each treatment had 10 replicates, with six (3 male and 3 female) pigs per pen, and the feeding trial lasted for 4 weeks. Pigs fed the MCP diet tended to have higher final BW (
