Effect of in ovo feeding of Centella asiatica leaf extract on hatchability, morphometric, visceral organs, intestinal morphology, and blood hematology parameters of Indonesian native chicks.
Article 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
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of in ovo feeding of Centella asiatica leaf extract on hatchability, physical quality, blood hematology, visceral organs and immunity, and intestinal morphology of native chicks. A total of 300 fertile eggs were used in this study. This study used a completely randomized design with five treatments and six replicates, consisting of 10 fertile Sentul chicken eggs, each replicate. Treatments were uninjected eggs (P0), eggs injected with 0.5 ml PBS (P1), eggs injected with 0.5 ml PBS containing 1 mg (P2), 2 mg (P3), and 4 mg (P4) of Centella asiatica leaf extract. In ovo feeding of Centella asiatica leaf extract up to 4 mg significantly improved (p < 0.05) hatchability, villi height to crypt depth ratio, and leukocytes number, but had no significance (p > 0.05) on hatching weight, morphometric traits, physical score, weights of the proventriculus, gizzard, liver, thymus, colon, and relative length of the small intestine, cecum, and colon, as well as the number of hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocytes, leukocyte differentiation and the ratio of heterophils to lymphocytes. In ovo feeding of Centella asiatica leaf extract significantly reduced (p < 0.05) the weight of the heart, gallbladder, spleen, bursa of Fabricius, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, and crypt depth. It is concluded that in ovo feeding of Centella asiatica leaf extract at 4 mg improves the hatchability, immunity, and intestinal health without lowering the physical quality of Sentul chicks.
