The Effects of Chicory Aqueous Extract on Antioxidant Capacity, Immune Response, and Intestinal Function in Broilers.

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
In the broiler production industry, antibiotics such as florfenicol are widely used. Although these antibiotics exert therapeutic effects against bacterial diseases, they can induce a series of physiological alterations in broilers under certain exposure scenarios. This study aimed to investigate the effects of chicory aqueous extract (CAE) on broiler growth performance, immune function, and intestinal health, and to compare the impacts of CAE and florfenicol exposure on the physiological status of broilers. A total of 200 one-day-old broilers were randomly divided into five groups (5 replicates per group): the blank control group (NC) drank tap water freely, the florfenicol group (FFC) was given 0.15 g/L of florfenicol solution in the drinking water, the CAE groups were given 1.25 g/L (LCAE), 2.5 g/L (MCAE), and 5 g/L (HCAE) of CAE in the drinking water, respectively. The experimental period was 42 days. The results showed that the addition of CAE to drinking water could significantly improve the growth performance of broilers, specifically manifested as increased body weight and a significantly decreased feed-to-gain ratio (F/G) (
