Investigation of growth curves with different nonlinear models and MARS algorithm in broiler chickens.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 was conducted to determine the live weight model of the broiler chicks by using the most appropriate mathematical growth curves. Live weights were used in broiler chicks grown for 0-6 weeks. Logistics, Gompertz, Weibull, Hossfeld and Von Bertalanffy models and multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) data mining algorithm were used to define the live weights of the chickens. In the comparison of the models, the determination coefficient (R2), mean square error (MSE), Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) and Schwarz Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) values were used. As a result of the study, it is seen that Gompertz model is the best model to define live weight of the broilers in the Gompertz model, R2, MSE, RMSE, AIC, BIC and growth rates for male broiler were 0.9998, 470.570, 21.681, 68.750, 68.934 and 0.241, respectively. The actual measured live weight values and the weight values estimated by Logistics, Gompertz, Weibull, Hossfeld, Von Bertalanffy models and MARS algorithm are close and in harmony with each other in the graph. However, the weight values estimated from the MARS algorithm are much closer to the observed live weight values. The represent study also demonstrated a very high predictive performance of the MARS data mining algorithm for describing the growth of chicken. In conclusion, MARS algorithm can be a good alternative for breeders aiming at describing the weight-age relationship of broiler chickens.
