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

The application of probiotics in broiler feed, to alleviate performance deficiencies due to mild infections by coccidia and Clostridium perfringens, is of increasing interest for the poultry industry. Therefore, our objective was to evaluate the capacity of 3 Bacillus strains and their combination as probiotics in vitro and in vivo. Thus, protein and carbohydrate degradation and C. perfringens growth inhibition capabilities were assessed by colometry measurement and an agar diffusion bioassay, respectively. A total of 2,250 1-day-old male broiler chicks were assigned to 5 dietary treatments: 1) non-probiotic-supplemented control (control); 2) control + DSM 32324 at 0.8 × 10
