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

Bacillus-based direct-fed microbials (DFMs) have previously improved broiler performance and pre-harvest food safety by reducing foodborne pathogens. Therefore, an experiment was conducted to determine the effects of a Bacillus-based DFM on performance and physiological recovery metrics post- Salmonella Enteritidis challenge in growing broiler chicks. 560 male Ross 308 broilers were wingbanded at hatch and distributed among 40 cages (14 chicks/cage). Chicks were allocated into one of two dietary treatment groups, control (CON) or MicroLife® Prime (MLP), ± 1 × 10
