Evaluation of fennel seed meal in broiler chickens' diets: impacts on performance, carcass traits, digestive enzymes, intestinal microbiota, blood metabolites, and economic feasibility.
Article in Archives animal breeding, 2025. 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
The present study evaluated the effects of fennel seed meal (FSM) on performance, carcass characteristics, lengths of digestive tract parts (cm), intestinal enzyme activity, intestinal microbiology, blood parameters, and economic efficiency in broiler chickens. One hundred 44 unsexed, 1 d old broiler chicks (Ross) were divided into four groups, each with 36 chicks, at random and into four replicates, each with 9 chicks. The first group was fed the basal diet (control group), while the second, third, and fourth groups (T1-3) were fed a diet with 5 %, 10 %, and 20 % fennel seed meal, respectively. Dietary treatments significantly affected all performance parameters at 5 weeks of age. Total protein, albumin, globulin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total cholesterol, and triglycerides significantly affected the results, while the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and albumin-globulin ratios did not change substantially. The results revealed no significant difference in the activity of amylase, trypsin, and lipase (U dL
