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

This meta-analysis aimed to systematically assess the effects of organic acid supplementation on growth performance and disease-related parameters in broiler chickens challenged with coccidiosis. Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, yielding 11 controlled experimental studies for quantitative analysis. The outcomes measured were BWG, feed conversion ratio (FCR), lesion score, and oocyst count (OPG). No overall significant effect of organic acid supplementation was detected on body weight gain (BWG) (MD = 49.88 g; 95% CI: -156.94 to 256.70;
