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

The study aimed to examine the effects of dietary supplementation with microencapsulated butyric acid (EBA) and yeast culture (YC) in broiler diets. A total of 450 Ross-308 broiler chicks were selected and randomly allocated to five dietary treatments with six replicates (15 birds per replicate) in a complete block design. The experimental diets included the following treatments: (1) Negative control (NC) with basal diet without any additives. (2) Positive control (PC) with basal diet + 0.2 g/kg enramycin. (3) EBA, basal diet + 0.3 g/kg EBA. (4) YC, basal diet + 1 g/kg YC. (5) EBA+YC, basal diet + 0.3 g/kg EBA and 1 g/kg YC. The results indicated a non-significant effect on feed intake (FI) during the experiment periods. However, the EBA+YC treatment exhibited significantly increased body weight gain (BWG), better feed conversion ratio (FCR), and enhanced carcass traits (
