Natural and crystal bundles disaggregated palygorskite in young broilers: a comparison study.
Article in Animal bioscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 compare the effects of natural palygorskite (Nat-Pal) and crystal bundles disaggregated palygorskite (Dis-Pal) supplementation on the growth performance, intestinal health, and digestive function of young broilers.
methodsA total of 400 male Arbor Acres broilers (one-day-old) were randomly assigned to five experimental groups with eight replicates over a 14-day experimental period. Chicks were fed a basal diet (Control group), the basal diet supplemented with 10 g/kg Nat-Pal or 2.5, 5, and 10 g/kg Dis-Pal, respectively.
resultsDis-Pal linearly increased average body weight and average daily gain, and decreased feed-to-gain ratio of broilers from days 1 to 14, with the 5-10 g/kg Dis-Pal showing the most pronounced effects (p<0.05). An addition of Dis-Pal linearly increased glucose level, and decreased triglyceride level in serum (p<0.05). Compared to the control group, 5 g/kg Dis-Pal increased the digestibility of crude protein and dry matter, enhanced trypsin, lipase, and amylase activities in jejunal digesta, and elevated the ratio between villus height and crypt depth in jejunum and ileum (p<0.05). Dis-Pal linearly increased ileal mucosal glutathione and total antioxidant capacity levels, as well as total superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, with 10 g/kg Dis-Pal addition showing the best effects (p<0.05). The 2.5-10 g/kg Dis-Pal decreased the interferon-γ and tumor necrosis factor-α levels in ileal mucosa compared to the control group (p<0.05). Moreover, Dis-Pal supplementation linearly increased interleukin-10, secretory immunoglobulin A, and immunoglobulin M levels, and decreased the interferon-γ level, quadratically increased total superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in jejunal mucosa (p<0.05).
conclusionDietary Dis-Pal supplementation could improve growth performance, intestinal health, and enhance the nutrient digestibility of young broilers. Supplementation with Dis-Pal was more advantageous for broilers than with Nat-Pal, and its optimal dosage was 5 g/kg.
