Non-starch polysaccharide-degrading enzymes improve intestinal health by reducing digesta viscosity and gut permeability in young broilers fed high-fiber diets.

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
Young broilers are sensitive to dietary stressors such as increased level of non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) because their intestinal morphology and function are still developing and not yet fully mature. Viscous grains such as rye and barley with high NSP content can increase digesta viscosity, impair nutrient absorption, increase gut leakage and reduce performance. This study evaluated the effect of a xylanase-β-glucanase enzymes combination (XB) and a consensus bacterial 6-phytase variant (PhyG) on gut health and growth performance in young broilers (0 to 14 d old) fed diets containing rye and barley. A randomized complete block design was used and 180 Ross 308 male chicks was assigned to 5 treatment diets with 6 replications per treatment: 1) corn-wheat-soybean meal-based positive control (PC); 2) the PC reformulated with addition of rye and barley served as negative control (NC); 3) the NC supplemented with 1,000 phytase units (FTU)/kg of phytase (NC+PhyG); 4) the NC supplemented with phytase and XB (at 100g/MT providing 1,220 XU/kg xylanase and 152 U/kg β-glucanase, NC+PhyG+XB100), and; 5) the NC supplemented with the same phytase dose but XB at double dose (NC+PhyG+XB200). All diets were fed ad libitum as a mash. Compared with the PC, the NC increased (
