Effects of Zinc, Manganese, and Taurine on Egg Shell Microstructure in Commercial Laying Hens After Peak Production.
Article in Biological trace element research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Much strive has been made to improve egg shell quality in laying hens. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of two microminerals, zinc and manganese, besides taurine semi-essential amino acid on eggshell quality after peak production of Hy-line laying hens. A total of 720 laying hens were assigned to 18 treatments in a completely randomized design (3 × 3 × 2 factorial) at week 71. Experimental period included 8-week adaptation and using 18 dietary treatments for about 6 weeks. Dietary treatments included Zn (0, 80, and 160 mg/kg), Mn (0, 90, and 180 mg/kg), and taurine (0 and 1960 mg/kg). Supplementation of 90 mg Mn and 1960 mg taurine in laying hens' diet after peak of production improved egg shell quality without any negative effect on the internal quality of the egg. Egg specific gravity significantly increased in response to Zn, Mn, and taurine in comparison with control treatment (P < 0.05). Applying 1960 mg taurine/kg diet significantly improved calcite crystal's structure and eggshell strength in comparison with control treatment (P < 0.05). It was concluded that adding Mn and taurine can positively affect eggshell quality of laying hens post peak period.
