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

Aquaculture is a field that has developed rapidly over the past decade with the emergence of intensive farming systems that have significantly increased global fish production. However, this intensification has also led to the emergence of diseases caused by various pathogens, often resulting in extensive antibiotic use and, consequently, antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Consequently, research has focused on finding other sustainable alternatives to avoid the overuse of antibiotics and to protect both human and animal health. Probiotics and prebiotics have been extensively studied for their wide range of effects on growth, immunity, and the control of various pathogens. Through their complex mechanisms, they can also improve water quality, mitigate the effects of various physicochemical stressors, and enhance reproduction. This review aims to present the evolution of these concepts, with an emphasis on their effects, which often vary depending on the type of additive used, the dose, and the fish species.
