Selection for Improved Water Efficiency in Broiler Breeder Lines Does Not Negatively Impact Immune Response Capabilities to Gram
Article in Veterinary sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Selection for water consumption could impact broiler breeders' immune capabilities. To assess these impacts of selection based on the water conversion ratio (WCR), three trials were conducted using broiler breeders from the modern random bred (MRB), low (L)WCR, and high (H)WCR lines. Ten- to 11-week-old male broilers received intradermal (i.d.) growing feather (GF)-pulp injections of LPS (Trial 1) or PGN (Trial 2), to assess local (GF-pulp) and systemic (blood) inflammatory responses over 24 h and 72 h p.i., respectively. Measurements included leukocyte profiles in GF-pulps and blood, GF cytokine mRNA expression and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and plasma concentrations of α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP-1). In Trial 3, 14-week-old pullets were immunized by i.d. GF-pulp injection of SEV (10
