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
The current study was conducted to evaluate the synergetic effects of heat-killed Lactobacillus plantarum (HK L-137) and β-glucan (BG) on digestive enzyme activity and intestinal morphology of genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) with focus on insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), fatty acid synthase (FAS), and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). For 12 weeks, fish fed the control, or three diets incorporated with 100 HK L-137, 100 BG, or 50 HK L-137 + 50 BG mg/kg (HK L-137, BG, and HK L-137/BG diets). After final sampling, fish fed HK L-137 or HK L-137/BG diets exhibited significantly (P < 0.05) increased final body weight and weight gain while the specific growth rate and feed efficiency ratio enhanced only in HK L-137/BG group. Mucosal and villi lengths and muscle thickness significantly (P < 0.05) increased by HK L-137 or/and BG for the middle intestine. Lipase and protease improved significantly (P < 0.05) in fish fed both HK L-137 and BG when compared to the control group. Interestingly, qRT-PCR revealed a significant (P < 0.05) upregulation in the IGF-1 gene expression in fish fed HK L-137 or/and BG additives compared to the control. Muscle and liver G6PD gene expression were upregulated significantly (P < 0.05) in fish fed HK L-137/BG diet as compared to the control group. In addition, feeding HK L-137 or both additives effectively elevated the hematocrit, hemoglobin, and WBCs and decreased triglyceride and glucose levels. Accordingly, the use of both HK L-137 and BG is an efficient scheme to reach economically feasible and sustainable tilapia production.
