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

Low-protein (LP) diets supplemented with encapsulated crystalline amino acids (CAAs) have been proven to improve amino acid absorption kinetics and post-absorptive amino acid balance. This study investigated the effects of dietary starch structure, expressed as the amylose-to-amylopectin ratio (AAR), on encapsulated amino acid (EAA) utilization and laying performance in hens fed LP diets. A total of 672 healthy 34-wk-old Jingfen laying hens (1534.7 ± 5.4 g) were randomly assigned to seven treatments with eight replicates of 12 hens each for 10 weeks. The dietary treatments included a control (16% crude protein [CP]) diet, a LP diet (13% CP) supplemented with CAAs, the LP diet supplemented with EAAs, and the LP diet supplemented with EAAs containing four AARs (0.128, 0.228, 0.428, and 0.528, respectively). The results showed that, compared with the control, both CAA and EAA diets maintained comparable laying performance (
