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

Oxidative stress, a critical factor affecting the health and productivity of aquatic organisms, arises from the imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defenses. In aquaculture, natural antioxidants have gained increasing attention as sustainable feed additives to mitigate oxidative damage, enhance immune responses, and improve overall growth performance. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of the antioxidative mechanisms of key natural antioxidants, including carotenoids, polysaccharides, vitamins, polyphenols, and flavonoids. By neutralizing ROS and modulating cellular signaling pathways such as Nrf2/ARE, these compounds offer significant protective effects against oxidative damage in aquatic species. The manuscript consolidates recent advancements in antioxidant research, highlighting their practical applications in feed formulation and their role in promoting sustainability in aquaculture. This review aims to provide an integrative framework for understanding natural antioxidants' potential, guiding future research and practical implementation in aquaculture systems.
