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

Aquaculture is expanding rapidly worldwide, but its sustainability is threatened by intensive production practices, environmental stressors and recurrent disease outbreaks. Natural feed additives are increasingly studied as alternatives to antibiotics and synthetic compounds. Among them, bee-derived products-pollen, bee bread, propolis, royal jelly, honey and fermented derivatives-represent a promising resource due to their richness in proteins, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, flavonoids and phenolic compounds with demonstrated antioxidant, antimicrobial and immunostimulant properties. Evidence from studies on species such as Nile tilapia, rainbow trout, European sea bass, meagre and African catfish indicates that dietary supplementation with bee products can improve growth performance, immune and antioxidant responses, stress tolerance and resistance to bacterial infections while, in some cases, enhancing the nutritional value and shelf-life of fish products. Prominent examples include ~45% higher growth in African catfish with 10-30 g kg
