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

Background: Common carp ( Aim: This study evaluated the effects of dietary pumpkin seed ( Methods: Pumpkin seeds were selected for their rich content of essential nutrients and potential immunostimulatory properties. Seventy-two healthy fish (average weight 85.16 ± 0.10 g) were randomly assigned to four dietary groups receiving 0%, 1%, 2%, or 3% pumpkin seed powder for 12 weeks. Fish were fed to near satiation twice daily. After 56 days, a 3-hour crowding stress test (40 kg/m³) followed by 24 hours of recovery was performed. Key parameters assessed included growth performance, feed efficiency, hematological and biochemical markers, serum lysozyme activity, body composition, and immune-antioxidant response. Following this, 12 fish per group were intraperitoneally injected with Results: Fish fed pumpkin seed-supplemented diets, particularly at the 2% level, showed significant improvements in growth, immune markers, feed utilization, and survival rate post-challenge compared to the control group. Conclusion: These findings suggest that pumpkin seed supplementation enhances immune function and disease resistance in
