Application of dietary organic acids in laying hens production: a comprehensive review.
Review in Journal of animal science and technology, 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 removal of antibiotic growth promoters from poultry diets has driven research into alternative feed additives to optimize production performance in laying hens. Among these alternatives, dietary organic acids (OAs) have gained significant attention due to their antimicrobial properties, ability to modulate intestinal acidity, and role in enhancing nutrient utilization. This review comprehensively examines the effects of OAs supplementation on egg production and quality, blood parameters, intestinal morphology, fecal and intestinal microbiota, and bone health in laying hens. Studies indicate that various OAs supplementation improves egg production and quality. Additionally, OAs contribute to superior eggshell quality by enhancing calcium and protein absorption. The physiological benefits of OAs supplementation include improved intestinal morphology, gut microbiota, and immune and physiological responses. On the other hand, the effectiveness of OAs varies depending on the type of acid, dosage, environmental conditions, and interactions with feed ingredients or additives. This review consolidates current findings to provide practical insights into the application of OAs as a viable alternative to AGPs in commercial laying hen production.
