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

This study evaluated how dietary black seed oil (Nigella sativa L.) against the diazinon waterborne toxicity on Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), focusing on growth performance, hematological and biochemical parameters as well as oxidative stress markers and histological changes. A 40-day feeding trial was carried out using four experimental groups: Group 1 (control group), Group 2 (N. sativa-supplemented group), Group 3 (diazinon-exposed group), and Group 4 (diazinon-exposed with N. sativa supplementation group). The LC₅₀ value of diazinon for Nile tilapia was determined to be 4.642 mg/L, and fish were exposed to a sublethal concentration of LC₅₀/20 during the trial. Results demonstrated that diazinon exposure significantly impaired growth, hematological parameters, and liver function while increasing oxidative stress and tissue damage. Conversely, dietary supplementation with N. sativa oil significantly mitigated these adverse effects by enhancing specific growth rate, restoring RBC, Hb, and Hct values, improving liver enzyme profiles, and increasing antioxidant enzyme activity (SOD, CAT, GPx). Histological examinations confirmed that N. sativa oil reduced diazinon-induced damage in gill and liver tissues. The results show that N. sativa oil can be used as a functional feed ingredient to enhance fish resistance to chemical stressors that are commonly found in intensive aquaculture.
