Cinnamaldehyde as a dietary modulator of gut microbiota and growth in broilers under low-protein feeding conditions.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Cinnamaldehyde (CM), recognized for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory capabilities, is increasingly valued as an animal feed additive, primarily for its potential to augment gut health and promote general animal welfare. However, our understanding of CM as a feed additive to a low-protein diet on broilers' growth performance and microbial composition is still limited. To investigate the effect of CM supplementation on the growth performance and microbial composition of broilers within a low-protein diet administration, we employed a combination of serum biochemical tests, growth parameters, and high-throughput sequencing (HTS) techniques. The results indicated a significant increase in body weight (N = 40) and feed efficiency ratio (N = 40; P < 0.05) following CM administration. Meanwhile, the microbial taxonomic analysis found that feeding CM increased the richness of Firmicutes, Faecalibacterium, and Lactobacillus while diminishing the diversity of Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria, Oscillospira, and Bacteroides. Besides, serum biochemical tests revealed that the CM administration significantly increased the immunity factors (IgA and IgE) than the low-protein (LP) group. These findings offer crucial insights into the interplay between gut microbiota and animal growth performance, elucidating the role of CM supplementation in the context of low-protein diets.
