Effects of the Antimicrobial Peptide Mastoparan X on the Performance, Permeability and Microbiota Populations of Broiler Chickens.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Restrictions on antibiotics are driving the search for alternative feed additives to promote gastrointestinal health and development in broiler chicken production. Proteins including antimicrobial peptides can potentially be applied as alternatives to antibiotics and are one of the most promising alternatives. We investigated whether the addition of MPX to the diet affects the production performance, immune function and the intestinal flora of the caecal contents of broiler chickens. One hundred one-day-old chickens were randomly divided into two groups: control (basal diet) and MPX (20 mg/kg) added to the basal diet. The results indicated that dietary supplementation with MPX improved the performance and immune organ index, decreased the feed conversion ratio, increased the villus length, maintained the normal intestinal morphology and reduced the
