Effects of ZnO nanoparticles on mortality and growth performance in broiler chickens.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) are increasingly studied for their applications in agriculture and animal husbandry due to their unique physicochemical properties, including high bioavailability and biocompatibility. This study aims to explore not only the direct benefits of ZnO-NPs on poultry performance but also their broader implications for economic sustainability. ZnO-NPs were synthesized via the sol-gel method and subsequently characterized to determine their physicochemical properties and general cytotoxicity prior to application in vivo. Broiler chickens were then fed diets supplemented with ZnO-NPs to evaluate growth performance, mortality rates, blood biochemical parameters, and immune responses. The results demonstrated that ZnO-NPs improved feed efficiency and reduced mortality rates. Furthermore, ZnO-NP supplementation showed no adverse effects on critical internal organs or blood metabolites. This analysis highlights the potential of ZnO-NPs as a sustainable substitute for traditional zinc oxide (ZnO) in poultry nutrition.
