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

The liver-gut axis plays a central role in maintaining the health and productivity of poultry. In addition, the liver-gut axis serves as a key regulator of digestion, metabolism, immunity, and detoxification. The gut, with its diverse microbiota, is the primary site for nutrient absorption and immune modulation, while the liver metabolizes nutrients, detoxifies harmful substances, and acts as a frontline defense against pathogens translocated from the gut. Disruptions in this interconnected system, including gut dysbiosis or liver inflammation, can lead to compromised immunity and reduced productivity. This mini-review explores integrated nutritional and immunological strategies aimed at optimizing the liver-gut axis to enhance poultry performance. Nutritional interventions, such as the use of flavonoids, vitamins, amino acids, micronutrients, probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics, have demonstrated their potential to support liver and gut health. Dietary components such as phytogenic additives, fiber, and fatty acids further contribute to immune modulation and systemic health. Immunological approaches, such as beta-glucans and
