Guava leaf extract as a catalyst for enhanced rabbit health and performance in sub-tropical regions: an updated review.
Review in Tropical animal health and production, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
For sustainable intensification of rabbit industry, it is imperative to explore the potential of non-conventional feed resources. The researchers were driven to discover solutions for the shortage of feed in livestock production because of the ongoing rise in costs associated with conventional feed resources. Their efforts were directed at enhancing conventional sources and investigating alternative feed sources, including agricultural and agro-based industrial by-products. Therefore, the review examines the possible advantages of using guava leaf extract (Psidium guajava) as an example of non-conventional feed additive to improve the growth performance and overall health of commercially raised rabbits. Guava leaf extract contains a high concentration of bioactive substances, such as antioxidants, vitamins, and vital minerals. These substances have demonstrated advantageous effects on the feed efficiency, growth rate, and overall health of rabbits. This review article provides a thorough analysis of the current understanding and updates the knowledge about the physiological effects of adding guava leaf extract to rabbit diets, with a specific emphasis on its economic benefits. The findings demonstrated notable enhancements in feed conversion efficiency, growth rate, and immune system functionality, coupled with reductions in the total lipids levels and pathogenic microorganisms. Potential avenues for future investigation encompass the refinement of dosage, examination of synergistic impacts with other dietary constituents, and implementation of extended studies to validate the enduring advantages.
