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
This study evaluated the effects of curry leaf powder (CLP) dietary supplementation on growth performance, immune response, antioxidant status, intestinal morphology, and economic returns in broiler chickens. A total of 162 birds were randomly assigned to one control and two treatment groups, each consisting of three replicates of 18 birds: T0 (control group without CLP), T1 (0.5% CLP) and T2 (1.5% CLP). The results showed that body weight and weight gain were significantly (p < 0.05) improved by CLP supplementation with the T2 group exhibiting the greatest improvement. The feed conversion ratio (FCR) significantly improved (p < 0.05) especially in the T1 group (0.5% CLP) and feed intake was lower in the CLP-receiving groups. Immunologically the T2 group (1.5% CLP) showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher levels of immunoglobulins (IgA IgG and IgM) than the other groups. Evaluations of antioxidants showed that total antioxidant capacity, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities increased significantly (p < 0.05) and that malondialdehyde level decreased especially in the T2 group. Histological examination revealed notable (p < 0.05) improvements in intestinal morphology in the jejunum and duodenum as evidenced by higher villus-to-crypt ratios and villus heights. However, the crypt depth and villus height were decreased in the ileum of T2 birds. In terms of economics, the T2 group had the highest net profit (₹44.10), followed by the T1 group (₹41.90), and the lowest profit was seen in the T0 control group (₹31.75). In conclusion, using curry leaf powder, especially at a concentration of 1.5%, is a viable, natural, and affordable method to increase productivity and profitability in broiler production.
