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
Sustainable aquaculture increasingly relies on functional feed additives to enhance fish growth and health. This study investigated the effects of chromium chloride hexahydrate-supplemented sorghum-based diets on the growth performance, hematological, and biochemical responses of Ctenopharyngodon idella during a 90-day feeding trial. Four diets with graded Cr₂Cl₃.6H₂O levels (0, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 mg/kg in diet) were tested, and fish receiving moderate supplementation showed the most efficient growth and feed utilization. Hematological parameters, including hemoglobin, hematocrit, and white blood cell counts, and biochemical indicators such as serum protein, lipid profile, glucose, and liver enzymes, responded in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting potential effects on metabolic, renal, and hepatic function. Regression analysis indicated an optimal supplementation level (0.55mg/kg) that maximized growth and physiological benefits without adverse effects. These results demonstrate that moderate chromium inclusion in sorghum-based diets can enhance growth performance and overall fish health, providing a practical strategy for aquafeed optimization. This study highlights the potential of graded chromium supplementation within a sorghum-based basal diet to support sustainable and efficient aquaculture practices, providing insights for the formulation of functional feeds.
