Impacts of Enrichment Type (Hut vs. Platform) on Chronic Stress and Anxiety in Six Fast- and Slow-Growing Broiler Strains.

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 objective of this study is to assess anxiety and chronic stress in fast- and slow-growing broilers when housed with a hut or platform enrichment. We obtained 264 day-old chicks each of Cobb 500, Ross 308, and Ross 708, Redbro-Yield, Redbro M, and Ja57NH strains, and placed them by strain across 72 pens (22 birds/pen) with an A-frame hut or a perforated platform with ramps. Anxiety was assessed via the attention bias test (proportion of birds feeding, vigilance), and chronic stress was assessed through feather corticosterone (fCORT) and secretory immunoglobulin-A (SIgA) concentrations in excreta at 3.7 kg body weight. More Ja57NH broilers began feeding during the test compared to Cobb 500 (
