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

Introduction: The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of quercetin and their regulatory mechanisms had been extensively studied in aquatic animals. However, limited information was available regarding the effects of quercetin in farmed fish fed diets with high soybean meal inclusion. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of adding quercetin to soybean meal-based feed on the growth, antioxidant capacity, and gut and liver health of juvenile turbot. Methods: Five isonitrogenous and isolipidic experimental diets were formulated: a fish meal diet (FM), a diet in which 40% of the fish meal was replaced with soybean meal (SBM), and three diets based on the SBM diet, each supplemented with quercetin at graduated levels of 0.05%, 0.1%, and 0.2%, designated as Q0.05, Q0.1, and Q0.2, respectively. These diets were randomly assigned to 15 tanks (200 L), with 30 juvenile turbot (initial weight 8.41 ± 0.52 g) reared in each tank for a feeding trial of 70 days. Results: The results showed that, compared with the FM group, the specific growth rates (SGR) in the SBM group decreased significantly ( Discussion: In summary, dietary quercetin supplementation in diets with 40% fish meal replacement by soybean meal significantly enhanced antioxidant capacity and protected gut and liver health in turbot, with concomitant improvements in growth performance. The gut-liver axis was possibly involved in this regulatory process. The optimal dietary quercetin supplementation level was 0.2% in the present study.
