A review of the iron requirements and its determination in commercial poultry.
Review in Animal nutrition (Zhongguo xu mu shou yi xue hui), 2026. 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
Iron (Fe) is an essential mineral for poultry, playing a critical role in oxygen transport and energy metabolism. Consequently, it is routinely supplemented into commercial poultry diets to safeguard against deficiencies that can negatively impact productive performance. Conversely, excessive dietary Fe can compromise performance by inducing oxidative stress, reducing absorption of other nutrients and negatively disrupting the gastrointestinal microbiota. The bioavailability, and thus absorption, of Fe is dictated by the form it is present in the feed, with haem, the organic form of Fe, being preferentially absorbed. Modern poultry diets, depending on location or context, may be devoid of animal proteins, and therefore without haem. Inorganic Fe sulphates have been the primary source of supplemental Fe in poultry diets, via premixes. These sources may provide Fe in the ferric state (Fe
