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

Mercury (Hg) contamination in the aquatic environment poses serious ecological and food safety concern due to its non-degradability, persistence, and bioaccumulation in fish tissues, particularly in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), a widely farmed species. This study evaluated the efficacy of probiotics (Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus plantarum, and L. buchneri) and dietary Spirulina platensis supplementation on Hg-induced toxicity and associated damage in Nile tilapia, particularly regarding hematological alterations, gill histopathology and antioxidant-immune gene regulation. A total of 250 monosex tilapia (10.74 ± 1.23 g; 8.93 ± 0.43 cm) were allocated into four groups: control (T1), Hg-exposed (0.03 mg L⁻
