Potential benefits of Ginkgo biloba in poultry nutrition: 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 1 paper.
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
The need for more efficient poultry production to meet the increasing demand for animal protein due to the increase in global human population informs the use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs). Rising worries about the possible development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and residues in chicken products make it imperative to develop alternatives to AGP. Such alternatives must possess qualities that are safe for public health, cost-efficient, environmentally-friendly,possessing antibacterial properties and ensure better growth performance in birds. More and more people are starting to see the value of functional food additives. Therefore, searching for novel feed items with useful characteristics is a primary focus of present-day research. Ginkgo biloba (GB) tree is of such promising materials in nature. It is a sole member of the Ginkgoaceae family, which is a subclass of Ginkgoatae. The leaves of GB contain flavonoids, terpenoids, polyphenols, polysaccharides, vitamins and minerals. There is current evidence that extracts from Ginkgo biloba plant exhibits antioxidant, antibacterial, antiplatelet, anticancer, neuro-protective and cardio-protective effects. These content have led to its growing popularity as a functional food ingredient in recent years. Evidence of its effectiveness is found in various literatures. However, there have not been a synthesized detailed summary of the results scattered in literature. Hence, this review aims to update the knowledge about the potential effects of GB supplementation in broiler chickens on growth performance, blood biochemistry, immunological function, carcass and meat quality, intestinal morphology, economic feasibility, and the expression of specific genes related to growth and antioxidant processes. Future considerations on the utilization of GB leaves and extracts in commercial feed of chickens are also presented.
