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
Heat stress (HS) during lactation poses a critical challenge in swine production, often impairing feed intake, metabolic function, and reproductive performance in sows. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of feed form (mash vs. pellet) and dietary electrolyte balance (dEB; 230 vs. 290 mEq/kg) adjusted with sodium bicarbonate on sow performance, litter growth, immune response, antioxidant status, and gut microbiota under HS conditions. A total of 40 multiparous sows were assigned to four treatments in a 2 × 2 factorial design: Mlow (mash + 230 mEq/kg), Mhigh (mash + 290 mEq/kg), Plow (pellet + 230 mEq/kg), and Phigh (pellet + 290 mEq/kg). Each treatment contained 10 sows with 3-5 parity and their initial body weight was 241.83 ± 16 kg at d 112 of lactation. The trial spanned from parturition to weaning (21 days) during summer at an average temperature of 28.8°C. Results showed that sows fed pelleted diets (Plow, Phigh) and higher dEB levels (Mhigh, Phigh) had higher (
