Can kefir supplementation influence the growth performance and serum biochemistry of artificially reared squabs of three pigeon breeds?
Article in Archives animal breeding, 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
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of kefir on growth performance and some serum parameters in artificially reared squabs. A total of 114 1 d old squabs (Takla, Dolapçı, and Homing breeds) were fed crop milk by their parents for 3 d. The squabs were then randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: (1) the control group, which was fed naturally by their parents; (2) the artificial crop milk (ACM) group, which was hand-fed with artificial crop milk; and (3) the kefir (KEF) group, which was hand-fed with artificial crop milk supplemented with 2 % kefir. Samples of crop milk were collected 3 d after hatching, and their chemical composition was analysed. The body weights and feed intake of the squabs were monitored daily. Blood samples were taken from the squabs at 28 d of age to determine serum biochemical parameters. The nutritional composition of crop milk did not vary according to pigeon breed (
