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

Coccidiosis is a major economic burden in poultry farming worldwide. In Nigeria, herbal anticoccidials are widely used, yet their efficacy compared to orthodox drugs remains unclear. This study evaluates their comparative effects in broilers experimentally infected with mixed Eimeria species. 70 five-week-old broiler birds were employed in this study. The infective dose of the field strain of mixed Eimeria species was determined following standard procedures. Forty-two birds were randomly assigned to six groups (seven birds per group) to compare the anticoccidial effects of herbal and orthodox drugs. Groups A-E were infected with 10
