Evaluation of natural plant extracts as alternatives to chemical antiparasitics in
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: Coccidiosis caused by Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the anticoccidial efficacy of selected natural plant extracts as alternatives to conventional chemical antiparasitic drugs in broiler chickens experimentally infected with Methods: Broiler chickens were allocated into four experimental groups: non-infected control, infected untreated control, chemically treated, and plant extract-treated groups. Birds were monitored for growth performance, fecal oocyst shedding, intestinal lesion scores, histopathological changes, hematological parameters, and immunological, biochemical, and antioxidant responses. Results: Plant extract supplementation significantly improved body weight gain and feed conversion ratio, reduced oocyst shedding, and lowered intestinal lesion scores compared with infected untreated birds ( Conclusion: The evaluated plant extracts demonstrated pronounced anticoccidial, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant effects, with efficacy comparable to that of chemical anticoccidials. These findings support the potential use of natural plant extracts as safe, effective, and sustainable alternatives for controlling coccidiosis in poultry production.
