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

This study evaluated the effectiveness of antibiotic, probiotic, and antimicrobial peptide (AMP) supplements in mitigating adverse consequences of necrotic enteritis (NE) in broilers. In total, 720 one-day-old (Ross-308) male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to five distinct feeding regimens (each treatment consisting of six replicates of 24 birds) including: (1) negative control (NC), fed only basal diet; (2) positive control (PC); with C. perfringens challenge + basal diet; (3) CP-Ab: challenged + virginiamycin (Stafac® 500) at 200 g/ton, (4) CP-Pro: challenged + 200 g/ton B. subtilis PB6 (Clostat dry®) probiotic additive, and (5) CP-LS2: challenged and fed an antimicrobial peptide (LassoTide Plus®) at 200 g/ton. The NE challenge was induced by administering 10X coccidia vaccine on day 15 followed by inoculation with a pathogenic field strain of C. perfringens type G (1 × 10
