Ethanolic chicory leaf extract enhances hematological profile, gut microbiota, and intestinal morphology in rabbits.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Prebiotics contribute substantially to livestock physiology by promoting health equilibrium. Chicory leaves have been a subject of research as a natural prebiotic and exhibit various phytoconstituents that act as nutraceutical agents. However, the Aim: This study aimed to examine the impact of ethanolic chicory leaf extract (CLE) on the blood profile, intestinal microbial species, and histology of male rabbits. Methods: To prepare the leaf extract, ethanol was used as the solvent and was extracted using a rotatory evaporator. Forty-eight rabbits were divided into 4 groups (12/group). G Results: One-way Analysis of variance indicated a dose-dependent impact of CLE on the research parameters as the greatest improvements were observed in the highest-dose group (G Conclusion: Administration of CLE to rabbits acts as a microbiota-modulatory agent that boosts gut health and structure while maintaining the blood profile. Hence, it can be used as a natural tonic for livestock to promote bio-functionalities and can be a potential alternative to synthetic prebiotics.
