Effect of Microencapsulated Fermented Catfish Waste Extract on Apparent Metabolizable Energy, Nutrient Digestibility, Digestive Enzyme Activity, and Intestinal Microbiota of Broiler Chickens.
Article in Food science & nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Microencapsulated fermented catfish waste extract (MFCWE) is a promising, circular-economy feed additive that may help replace antibiotic growth promoters while valorizing catfish-processing byproducts through fermentation and microencapsulation. This study evaluated graded dietary inclusion levels of MFCWE (0.5%-2.0%) on energy utilization, nutrient digestibility, digestive enzyme activity, and selected intestinal microbes in broilers. A completely randomized design was used with six treatments: basal diet (T-), basal diet + zinc bacitracin (100 ppm; T+), and basal diet supplemented with 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, or 2.0% MFCWE (T0.5-T2). At day 35, birds were subjected to a metabolizable energy trial and sampling for digestibility, enzyme activity, and microbial counts. MFCWE affected AME (
