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
This study evaluated whether low-dose ozone exposure during storage can mitigate the negative effects of long-term storage on egg quality, yolk oxidative status, and hatching outcomes in broiler hatching eggs. A total of 1,350 eggs from 67-wk-old Ross 308 breeders were allocated to a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement of treatments: storage for 0 or 14 d and daily exposure to 0, 4, or 7 ppm ozone for 30 min. Egg quality traits (albumen index, yolk index, Haugh unit, shell thickness and ratios), eggshell microbial load (log10 CFU/mL), yolk malondialdehyde (MDA; nmol/mg protein), yolk protein content (mg/mL), and hatchability and embryonic mortality were recorded. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA with storage time and ozone dose as fixed effects. Fourteen days of storage reduced albumen index, yolk index, and Haugh unit and increased yolk MDA (5.70 vs. 8.87 nmol/mg protein; P < 0.001) and protein content (14.34 vs. 15.24 mg/mL; P < 0.01). Ozone markedly reduced eggshell microbial load in non-stored and stored eggs (eg in stored eggs, 9.14, 3.69, and 1.77 log10 CFU/mL at 0, 4, and 7 ppm; P = 0.001). Yolk MDA was greater at 7 ppm than at 0 or 4 ppm at both storage times (P ≤ 0.002), whereas 4 ppm did not differ from 0 ppm. For eggs stored, 0 d, 4 ppm increased hatchability of fertile eggs (96.42%) compared with 0 ppm (91.07%; P = 0.034). After 14 d of storage, 4 ppm resulted in greater hatchability of fertile eggs than 7 ppm (92.92 vs. 80.39%; P = 0.025), whereas values for the 0 ppm group (86.45%) were intermediate and did not differ from either group; 4 ppm also reduced early embryonic mortality compared with 7 ppm (2.65 vs. 11.76%; P = 0.007). In conclusion, low-dose ozone (4 ppm) applied during storage reduced eggshell microbial load and supported embryonic viability and hatchability without increasing yolk lipid peroxidation, whereas higher ozone (7 ppm) increased yolk MDA and early embryonic loss in long-stored eggs.
