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 was conducted to investigate the growth modulatory effects of dietary supplementation with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and Ag nitrate on broiler chickens. Thirty 15-day-old chicks were equally divided into the control group (fed basal diets), the Ag-nano group (fed basal diets supplemented with 50 ppm/kg of Ag NPs for 12 d), and the Ag nitrate group (fed basal diets supplemented with 100 ppm/kg Ag nitrate for 12 days). Chicks fed Ag NPs showed increased body weight gain and muscle weight, improved feed efficiency, and increased ash digestibility, while Ag digestibility tend to increase but not significant. Plasma triiodothyronine contents, and muscle Ag and nitrogen contents as well as a significant increase in the following mRNA levels in muscle tissue: insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1), glucose transporters (Glut1, Glut3), citrate synthase (CS), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), whereas the atrogin-1, fatty acid synthase (FAS), acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1A (CPT1A) mRNA levels were unchanged. However, these chicks exhibited decreased levels of plasma cholesterol, triglyceride, and glucose. Dietary supplementation with Ag NPs improved the growth performance of broiler chickens.
