L-Selenomethylselenocysteine Improves Growth Performance, Antioxidant Status, and Meat Quality in White-Feathered Broilers More Effectively than Selenomethionine.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 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
Selenium (Se) is essential in poultry nutrition for antioxidant defense through selenoproteins. While selenomethionine (Se-Met) is commonly used, L-selenomethylselenocysteine (L-SeMC) may offer more favorable responses for selected measured variables. This study compared Se-Met and L-SeMC effects on growth, antioxidant status, and meat quality in broilers. Six hundred and sixty one-day-old male Cobb 500 broiler chickens were randomly assigned to 11 dietary treatments, with six replicate pens of 10 birds per treatment, comprising a basal control diet and 10 selenium-supplemented diets arranged in a 2 × 5 factorial design (Se-Met or L-SeMC at 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, or 0.25 mg Se/kg) for 42 days. Selenium supplementation significantly improved average daily gain, final body weight, and feed conversion ratio (
