Molecular Mechanisms and Regulatory Factors Governing Feed Utilization Efficiency in Laying Hens: Insights for Sustainable Poultry Production and Breeding Optimization.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Since the early 2000s, the poultry industry in our nation has steadily progressed towards a larger scale and increased intensification. However, the growing demand for animal-based protein, combined with significant increases in feed ingredient costs, presents substantial challenges to the advancement of egg production. The regulation of feed utilization efficiency in laying hens is a complex process, influenced by various factors including the farming environment, feed composition, microbial ecosystems, and hormonal dynamics. The feed conversion rate in laying hens not only serves as a critical indicator of agricultural productivity but also highlights the significant impact of molecular technologies in improving feed efficiency. These technological advancements have enhanced the precision and effectiveness of breeding practices while providing substantial support for optimizing feed management, improving production metrics, and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. This comprehensive synthesis of factors, regulatory pathways, and cutting-edge molecular methodologies establishes a biological framework for future breeding strategies. Notably, this review uniquely emphasizes the pivotal role of modern molecular biology techniques-such as genomic selection, transcriptomic profiling, and gene-editing tools-in decoding feed conversion efficiency (FCE), contributing to broader goals of agricultural sustainability by balancing productivity gains with eco-friendly and cost-effective egg production.
