Dried black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae in sustainable diet for laying hens: effects on performance, physiology, and nutrient metabolism.

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
To increase the sustainability of laying hen diets in subtropical rural conditions, corn and soybean meal were partially substituted with locally produced ingredients, topped or not with black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens, BSF) larvae, simulating rural practices. To understand the underlying metabolic causes of potentially altered performance, blood biochemical parameters, including acylcarnitines, were evaluated. From 30 to 40 weeks of age, 150 Lohman White laying hens were allocated to three diets: standard corn-soybean meal diet (CONTROL), an alternative diet with triticale, faba beans and rapeseed meal (ALTER), and an ALTER diet supplemented with 5% BSF-dried larvae (ALTER+BSF). Laying performance, organ traits, selected carnitine esters and serum biochemical parameters were assessed. The CONTROL and ALTER diets resulted in comparable laying performance, whereas ALTER+BSF decreased the laying rate by 2% (p < 0.001) and increased egg weight by 2 grams (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed coordinated remodeling of the global acylcarnitine profile (p = 0.002, R
