Using a Multi-Attribute Decision-Making Method to Evaluate the Effect of in Ovo Injection of Valine and Tryptophan on the Growth Performance of Broiler Chickens.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundEggs provide limited energy and essential nutrients necessary for chicken embryo growth. Intra-egg nutrition serves as an effective approach to address initial growth constraints during the embryonic stage and post-hatching.
objectiveThis study aimed to identify the optimal levels of L-valine or L-tryptophan amino acids administered via in ovo injection to improve the growth performance of Ross 308 broiler chickens.
methodsFive hundred fertile eggs were weighed and incubated. On Day 14, the fertile eggs were divided into five groups, receiving injections of either 0.95% (Val-1) or 1.05% (Val-2) L-valine, 0.55% (Trp-1) or 0.60% (Trp-2) L-tryptophan, or distilled water (control) at a volume of 0.5 mL. Nine performance criteria, including hatchability, body weight, feed intake, feed efficiency, livability, production index, villus length to crypt depth, Lactobacillus and Escherichia coli populations were assessed as least-square means.
resultsA multiple-attribute decision-making (MADM) method, utilising the technique for order of preference similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS), was employed to rank the in ovo amino acid treatments. The treatments yielded the following scores: control (0.7703), Val-1 (0.4759), Val-2 (0.4161), Trp-1 (0.7761) and Trp-2(0.1509).
conclusionsThe findings indicate that injecting 0.55% L-tryptophan on Day 14 of incubation is a beneficial strategy to enhance growth performance in broiler chickens.
