Impact of Drinking Water Supplemented with Complex Acidifiers on Production Performance, Egg Quality, Physiological and Biochemical Indicators, and Microbial Flora of BIAN Chickens.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with composite acidifying agents containing 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid (≥30.0%), lactic acid (≥24.2%), and phosphoric acid (≥23.8%) on production performance, egg quality, serum biochemistry, intestinal health, and cecal microbiota in 300-day-old BIAN chickens. In a 42-day randomized trial, 900 laying hens were randomly allocated to three groups: the control group (basal diet with tap water), test group A (basal diet with 0.05% composite acidifier in drinking water), and test group B (basal diet with 0.20% composite acidifier in drinking water). The results demonstrated that test group B exhibited a significant 4.6% increase in average egg weight compared to the control (
