Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles as Next-Generation Feed Additives: Bridging Antimicrobial Efficacy, Growth Promotion, and Sustainable Strategies in Animal Nutrition.
Review in Nanomaterials (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have attracted significant attention due to their wide-ranging applications in animal production, largely because of their notable biocompatibility, low toxicity, and strong antimicrobial activity. These properties make ZnO NPs a promising substitute for traditional antibiotics. Their application could address the growing concern of antibiotic resistance in livestock industries. This review examines the unique physicochemical characteristics of ZnO NPs, including their nanoscale size and high surface area, which contribute to their biological functionality. Emphasis is placed on green synthesis methods that minimize environmental impact while producing high-quality ZnO NPs. In animal farming, ZnO NPs play a crucial role not only in promoting growth and improving immune responses, but also in enhancing meat and egg quality. Additionally, this review discusses the environmental and safety implications of ZnO NPs, considering their sustainable application potential in future animal production practices, aimed at fostering a more eco-friendly and efficient livestock sector.
