Enumeration of organisms occurring in the intestinal tract and yolk sac of day-old chicks from commercial hatcheries.
Article in Veterinary research communications, 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
This study evaluated the naturally occurring microorganisms within the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and yolk sacs of day-old commercial broiler chicks. Across 6 independent trials, day-old chicks (n = 10 per trial) were obtained from various commercial hatcheries, humanely euthanized, and necropsied. The entire intestine (duodenum to colon) and the yolk sac were isolated, homogenized, serially diluted, and plated onto selective media to enumerate total aerobes, Clostridium spp., Clostridium perfringens, Staphylococcus aureus, Gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli, total coliforms, and yeast and molds. Intestinal microbial loads were consistently high, with counts for both total aerobes and Clostridium spp. (8.14 and 8.11 log
