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

Bacillus velezensis (B. velezensis) has gained increasing recognition as a probiotic for improving animal growth performance and intestinal health. However, whether B. velezensis affects growth performance, immune function, and cecal microbiota in Chinese local breeds of chickens remains unclear. In this study, a total of 180 one-day-old healthy male Langya chicks were randomly divided into 3 treatment groups with 5 replicates per group and 12 chicks each replicate. Langya chicks were fed with a corn-soybean-based diet as the control group (CON), and 2 other groups were fed the same basal diet supplemented with 50 mg/kg aureomycin or 2.0 × 10
