Transcriptional Cytokine Responses Linked to Pathological Outcomes in Broiler Chickens Fed Residual Doses of Antimicrobials.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cross-contamination of poultry feed with antimicrobials may cause unintended exposure to residual antibiotic doses, but the immunological consequences remain unclear. We tested whether six antimicrobials (colistin, doxycycline, flumequine, thiamphenicol, tiamulin, and tilmicosin) delivered in feed at 2% of the maximum approved dose modulate immune-related gene expression and splenic histology in broiler chickens. Female Ross 308 chicks received antibiotic-contaminated diets throughout the rearing. Spleen and caecal mucosa were sampled on days 7, 21, and 35, and analyzed by RT-qPCR. Spleen was sampled on day 35 for histopathology. Responses were strongly time- and tissue-dependent, with the largest effects on day 21. In spleen, selected antimicrobials showed selective down-regulation of
