Effect of β-mannanase supplementation in low-energy and lowprotein diets on performance, intestinal morphology, and fatty liver incidence in laying hens.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effect of dietary β-mannanase supplementation in low-energy and low-protein diets containing palm kernel meal and copra meal on productive performance, egg quality, intestinal morphology, and fatty liver incidence in laying hens.
methodsA total of four hundred 26-wk-old Hy-Line Brown laying hens were allotted to 1 of 5 dietary treatments with 8 replicates. The positive control (PC) diet was prepared with corn and soybean meal, whereas the negative control (NC) diet was formulated with decreased AMEn by 100 kcal/kg and CP by 0.85% than PC diets. High-mannan NC diet was also prepared by inclusion of 2.5% palm kernel meal and 2.5% copra meal, which was designed to contain energy and nutrient concentrations equal to those in the NC diet. Finally, dietary β-mannanase was supplemented to the high-mannan NC diet at the levels of 0.05% and 0.10%.
resultsMost productive performance and egg quality were not affected by dietary treatments. For jejunal morphology, villus height:crypt depth (VH:CD) ratio for hens fed PC diets or NC diets was greater (p<0.05) than those fed high-mannan NC diets, but supplementation of β-mannanase in high-mannan NC diets did not affect VH:CD ratio in hens. Hens fed NC diets had a greater (p<0.05) subjective color score in the liver than those fed PC diets or high-mannan NC diets supplemented with 0.05% and 0.10% β-mannanase.
conclusionMost productive performance and egg quality in laying hens were not affected by reduction in dietary energy and protein levels, inclusion of high-mannan ingredients, and dietary β-mannanase supplementation. No considerable benefits of dietary β-mannanase supplementation in low-energy and low-protein diets containing high-mannan ingredients on productive performance and health were observed in laying hens.
