Effect of zinc hydroxychloride supplementation combined with an anticoccidial drug on
Article in Veterinary world, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background and Aim: Materials and Methods: Forty one-day-old broilers were randomly divided into five groups, the study was replicated twice and had four chickens per replicate. Group 1 was an uninfected and unmedicated control group, and Group 2 was an infected but unmedicated control group. Group 3 was infected and treated with 120 mg/kg ZnOHCl, Group 4 was infected and medicated with 7 mg/kg toltrazuril (TOL), and Group 5 was infected and treated with 120 mg/kg ZnOHCl and 7 mg/kg TOL. Body weight gain, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio were monitored on days 15, 21, and 28. Oocyst shedding, hematological data, and lesion scores were analyzed on 7 days post-infection. Results: The average weight gain, feed intake, and packed cell volume of chickens treated with ZnOHCl and TOL were significantly higher than those of the infected and unmedicated controls (p ≤ 0.05). Lesion scores, oocyst output, and lymphocytes of the chickens treated with ZnOHCl and TOL were significantly lower than those of the infected and unmedicated controls (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrated that zinc supplementation alone reduced only oocyst output. However, growth performance, lesion scores, and oocyst output were affected by the combination of ZnOHCl and TOL supplementation. This suggests that ZnOHCl supplementation combined with an anticoccidial drug can improve growth performance and lessen the severity of
