1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Oxidative stress is closely linked to various diseases in chickens, representing an urgent concern that needs to be addressed in the poultry industry. Curcumin (CUR) and selenium (Se) are both recognized for their great antioxidant effects, however, the combination use of them in broilers has not been reported. This study aims to demonstrate the synergistic antioxidant effects of CUR and Se Methods: The experiments were conducted on the DF-1 cell line and 400 healthy male White-feathered Broilers, day old, weighing 43.89 ± 0.70 g. Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and dexamethasone (Dex) were used to conduct oxidative stress model. Results: The results demonstrated that CUR and Se synergistically enhanced the antioxidant capacity of DF-1 cells, with a combination index (CI) less than 1; next, CUR and Se increased the total antioxidant capacity and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, decreased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in broiler liver and heart tissues, alleviated Dex-induced liver and heart injury and liver cell apoptosis in broilers; moreover, the protein expression of IGF-1, PI3K-p110β, phosphorylated AKT and phosphorylated mTOR in liver and heart tissues were increased after the combination treatment. Discussion: In conclusion, CUR and Se alleviate oxidative stress in White-feathered Broilers synergistically, and the synergistic antioxidant effects are related to IGF-1/PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.
