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

Microplastics are ubiquitous in livestock settings and raise increasing concern, yet studies on their effects on poultry intestinal health and gut microbiota, particularly in native Chinese breeds, are still scarce. Chahua chicken No. 2 were exposed to drinking water with 0, 0.05, 0.1, or 0.5 mg/d polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs). At 0.5 mg/d, PS-MPs significantly reduced body weight, average daily gain, and feed intake at 42 and 120 days, while increasing feed conversion ratio and decreasing carcass traits (semi-eviscerated yield, eviscerated yield, breast and thigh muscle weights) at 42 days (
