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 study aimed to explore the impact of dietary Pediastrum boryanum (PB) on growth performance, immune-physiological and transcriptome responses of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). A 90-day trial using 1800 fish (17.00 ± 1.722 g) was allocated at random into 4 groups, three replicates each. The 4 groups received PB at 0 (G1), 1 (G2), 2 (G3), and 4 (G4) g/kg diet, respectively. The fish in Group G3 displayed a significant (p < 0.05) increase in final body weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, and final length when compared to the control group. In addition, red blood cell counts (RBCs), and neutrophils were significantly (p < 0.05) higher in G3. The groups' biochemical parameters did not significantly differ from one another; nevertheless, significant (p < 0.05) variations in immunoglobulin M (IgM), phagocytic activity, and the values of the phagocytic index. The antioxidative activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase differed significantly (p < 0.05) between groups, with the highest values seen in group G3. Moreover, there was a significant (p < 0.05) upgrade in the expression levels of GH, IGF-1, SOD, catalase, IL-6, IL-8, and PGAM2 genes in group G3. Additionally, G3 had the most typical liver structure, significantly (p < 0.05) increased villi length and width, and a thicker lamina propria in the intestine. In conclusion, dietary supplementation of PB boosted growth performance, blood and serum profile, morphometric evaluation of the liver and intestine, and expression of genes related to growth, antioxidant capacity, immunity, and energy metabolism in Nile tilapia.
