Impact of Incorporating Defatted Black Soldier Fly Meal into Diet on Growth Performance, Serum Biochemical Parameters, Nutrient Digestibility, Morphology of the Intestinal Tract, and Immune Index of Brooding 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 aim of this study was to investigate the impact of incorporating black soldier fly meal (BSFM) into the diet of brooding laying hens, with a focus on growth performance, serum biochemical markers, nutrient digestibility, intestinal morphology, and immune responses. A total of 480 one-day-old chicks (Hy-Line Brown, commercial flock) were randomly divided into four dietary treatment groups, each consisting of six replicates with 20 birds per pen. One group was fed a basal control diet (control/G0 group), while the remaining three groups were fed 3% (G3 group), 6% (G6 group), and 9% (G9 group) BSFM, respectively. The study lasted for 42 days. At both 21 and 42 days of age, several parameters were measured, including average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI), feed conversion ratio (FCR), and tibia length. Blood serum samples were also collected to assess biochemical and antioxidant indicators. Results showed that the ADG in the G3 group was significantly higher than the G0 group during the 1-21, 22-24, and 1-42 day periods (
