Organic acids supplementation in poultry nutrition: A review.
Review in Open veterinary journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The poultry industry is continually exploring new feed additives to enhance poultry productivity and health. Since the European Union's (EU) 2006 ban on antibiotics as growth promoters, alternative methods have become essential to support health and growth in livestock production. In response, various strategies have been developed to replace nutritional antibiotics, aiming to combat antibiotic resistance and manage diseases that would otherwise require antibiotic intervention. One promising alternative is the incorporation of organic acids (OAs) and their salts as feed additives in poultry farming. OAs improve feed palatability, reduce pH levels in the gastrointestinal tract of birds, activate digestive enzymes, and inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms while preserving beneficial microflora. These acids enhance metabolism, improve feed digestibility, and accelerate growth. Additionally, OAs support overall bird health, a key factor affecting productivity traits and, consequently, the economic performance and profitability of poultry farming. This article examines the potential applications of OAs in poultry nutrition.
