Effects of Fish Bone Meal Supplementation on Growth Performance, Blood Immunity, Intestinal Morphology, and Gut Microbiota in Laying Hens.

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
The poultry industry relies heavily on soybean meal to feed egg-laying chickens, but its high cost and price instability necessitate the exploration of more affordable and reliable alternatives. Fish bone meal, a nutritious byproduct from fish processing, offers high-quality protein and essential minerals, making it a promising addition to poultry diets. In this study, 240 Hy-Line Brown laying hens (31 weeks old, average weight 1.90 ± 0.1 kg, egg laying 11 weeks) were randomly assigned to two dietary treatments for 12 weeks: one group received a regular diet, while the other was fed a diet containing 3% fish bone meal. Each treatment included 12 replicates with 10 hens per replicate, and all birds were maintained under identical environmental conditions using a completely randomized experimental design. The results showed that hens fed the fish bone meal diet produced more eggs (
