Effect of different feed particle size on digestive tract morphology, digesta viscosity, nutrient retention, and blood biochemical parameters in slow-growing broiler chickens.

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 study evaluated the effect of feed particle size on health and performance indicators in slow-growing broiler chickens. Performance traits, digestive tract morphology, digesta viscosity, nutrient retention, and blood biochemical parameters were assessed in 120 one-day-old male Hubbard JA57 broilers divided into three dietary groups with five replicates, differing only in feed particle size: coarse (CG), medium (MG), and fine (FG). The Geometric Mean Diameter (GMD) of grower and finisher was 1.06 mm for CG, 0.89 mm for the MG and 0.66 mm for the FG. Broilers fed by coarse diet had higher weight (
