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

In recent years, commercial use of antibiotic growth promoter (AGP) has restrictions due to drug resistance against intestinal pathogenic bacteria: Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Clostridium perfringens. Currently there is no single non-antibiotic treatment approach that is effective against intestinal illnesses in broiler chicken. Hence, present study aimed to analyze efficacy of blend of natural antimicrobial substances (probiotics, prebiotics, organic acids, and essential oils blend named as AGPR) as replacers of AGPs (BMD and CTC) for promoting growth and controlling bacterial diseases in aforementioned three microbes challenged broiler chickens. Effects of treatments (5) and microbes (3) on growth and health performances in experimental birds were analyzed using two factorial ANOVA. Health performance like pathogen loads, morbidity and mortality was considerably reduced by AGPR. Similarly small intestine villi morphometry, nutrition utilization, serum immune response, and carcass yield, was improved significantly by AGPR equivalent to AGPs. Further, growth performance like body weight gain, feed efficiency was also improved by AGPR compared to control but, non-significantly. Among three microbes, E. coli infections had higher morbidity and mortality rates. It was concluded that AGPR blend could be used to improve growth and control the intestinal bacterial infections in broiler chickens as an alternative for AGPs.
