1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The use of probiotics in shrimp farms has expanded as an alternative to antibiotics, improving shrimp health, growth, disease control and water quality. However, the efficacy of probiotics in intensive systems using biofloc remains uncertain. This study investigated bioremediation and biocontrol of commercial probiotics using biofloc, analysing water quality and bacterial groups influencing shrimp performance. Thirteen microbial colonies were observed in the biofloc samples, and their evolutionary history was inferred using the neighbour-joining method. Analysis using MEGA6 software revealed 99.6% similarity between colony 1P1 and Virgibacillus sp. and 99.8% similarity between colony 2P2 and Bacillus kochii. The study analysed the biochemical and amino acid content of shrimp cultured using biofloc technology for 85 days. The study found that biofloc-cultured L. Vannamei flesh had higher levels of moisture (31%), ash (15.2%), protein (34%) and lipid (12.6%). No seasonal variations were observed between biofloc samples in winter and summer seasons. Protein levels were found to be appropriate for shrimp growth in both ex situ and in situ biofloc systems. The average growth rate (kg/m
