1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: High stocking density is one of the main factors that impair the performance and welfare of broilers. Aims: This study aimed to investigate the effects of Methods: Two hundred one-day-old Cobb 500 chicks were divided randomly into five treatments (4 replicates and ten birds per replicate): Control (normal stocking density, no probiotic), HD (high stocking density, no probiotic), HDpBacil (high stocking density, Results: The HD group had significantly the highest footpad dermatitis and gait scores and the lowest litter quality levels (P<0.05). The combined probiotic improved leg health and litter quality indices (P<0.05) and reduced the water holding capacity (WHC) and peroxide value (P<0.05). While, the highest peroxide value of abdominal fat and WHC of thigh meat were in the HD group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The combination of probiotics (
