Dietary Effects of Selenium Nanoparticles on Growth Performance, Survival Rate, Chemical Composition, and Muscle Bioaccumulation of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).
Article in Biological trace element research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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
This study evaluated the effect of selenium nanoparticles on growth performance, survival rate, chemical composition, and bioaccumulation of selenium in the muscle of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Fish with an average weight of 33.1 ± 1.0 g were distributed in 12 fiberglass tanks and fed for 56 days with different levels of selenium nanoparticles, 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/kg of diet, considered as control, T1, T2, and T3, respectively. Body weight increase (BWI), specific growth rate (SGR), and food conversion ratio (FCR) were significantly influenced by 2 mg/kg of selenium nanoparticles compared to the other treatments, in particular control and T1 with 0.5 mg/kg selenium (P < 0.05). The survival rate was also significantly affected in T2, especially compared to the control (P < 0.05). In addition, protein, ash, and moisture percentages of muscle showed statistically different levels in fish fed a diet containing 2 mg/kg of selenium nanoparticles compared to the control treatment (P < 0.05). The results of the selenium bioaccumulation in the muscle of trial diets showed a significant difference in selenium nanoparticle bioaccumulation among treatments, with the highest revealed in the 2 mg/kg nanoparticle group (P < 0.05). Overall, selenium nanoparticles significantly improved the growth performance, survival, and chemical composition (protein in particular) of Nile tilapia, especially in the T2 and T3 treatments.
