Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEA-S) in Broiler Plasma: Analytical Validation of Immunoassays and Comparative Overview Across Avian Species.

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
This study validated immunoassays for measuring circulating DHEA and DHEA-S in broiler plasma and compared the two biomarkers. A commercially available RIA kit for DHEA and a species-independent ELISA kit for DHEA-S were tested against each other and available literature data. Blood samples were collected from 68 female broilers at slaughter. Most sample concentrations were close to the lower calibration range. DHEA concentrations ranged from 52 to 354 pg/mL, whereas DHEA-S values ranged from 76 to 7320 pg/mL. Both assays showed satisfactory validation results, including good precision (intra- and inter-assay CV ≤ 15%), accuracy (recovery ≥ 99%), linearity (R
