Providing a gradient from low to high light intensity did not clearly affect the behavior, welfare or performance of either fast- or slower-growing broilers compared with a uniform low light intensity.

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
One of the most important senses in chickens is vision and light (intensity, spectrum, etc.) influences broiler behavior, welfare and performance. However, a lot remains unknown about offering a choice in light intensity and how this affects behavior, welfare and performance, especially for slower-growing broilers which are increasingly used in broiler production systems. Therefore, we studied the effect of control (uniform 20 lux) versus gradient (range from 20 (dim) to 200 (bright) lux) lighting on behavior, welfare and performance of fast- and slower-growing broilers. Day-old chicks from a fast-growing (Ross 308) and slower-growing (Hubbard JA757) breed were housed until an approximate weight of 2.6 kg (33 kg/m
