Effects of early growth rate and fat soluble vitamins on glucose tolerance, feed transit time, certain liver and pancreas-related parameters, and their share in intra-flock variation in performance indices in broiler chicken.

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
Three hundred fifty 18-day-old Ross 308 male chicks were used to examine the effects of early growth rate (x̄-3SD, x̄-2SD, x̄-SD, x̄, x̄+SD, x̄+2SD and x̄+3SD) and a fat soluble vitamin (FSV) cocktail on glucose tolerance, whole tract feed transit time (FFT), certain liver, and pancreas related traits as well as their share in intra-flock variance of body weight (BW) at d 42 and feed intake (FI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) in d 21 to 42 of age. Birds with a greater initial BW (21 d) showed greater FI during d 21 to 42 of age and gained a higher final BW at d 42 of age. The broilers injected with a FSV cocktail consumed more feed with an improved FCR and achieved a noticeable greater BW at d 42 of age compared with the untreated birds (P < 0.05). Blood glucose at 15 min after oral gavageing of a glucose solution was elevated in all birds faster than those with a body weight close to the mean population BW. Lipase activity increased by 9.75% and amylase activity decreased by 14.9% in the birds treated with FSV injections compared with those received no vitamin. Multivariate step-wise regression analysis showed liver percentage as the leading variable accounting for about 75 and 62.77% of BW and FI variance, respectively. Serum cholesterol concentration was the major predictor in a poor model (R
