Article in Open veterinary journal, 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
Background: Antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) are being phased out in poultry production, leading to the search for functional non-nutritive additives. Synbiotic blends, such as the BBG complex, can enhance gut health and resilience against environmental stressors, particularly suboptimal water quality and heat stress. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a synbiotic blend (BBG) comprising Methods: A total of 264 one-day-old Ross broiler chickens were distributed into two treatments ( Results: Physicochemical analysis confirmed that the drinking water deviated from regulatory standards, exhibiting a lack of residual chlorine, slightly acidic pH, and elevated nitrate levels. BBG administration enhanced overall productive performance, yielding higher final BW and weight gain, alongside a noteworthy reduction in mortality during the pre-starter phase. Hematological analysis showed marked leukocytosis and elevated liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and bilirubin) in both treatments, confirming active environmental stress. Although BBG treatment did not completely normalize these stress indicators, it improved the birds´ resilience and enhanced feed efficiency during the initial stages. Conclusion: The BBG synbiotic blend is a viable alternative to conventional AGPs, improving productivity and early viability under challenging field conditions characterized by high temperatures and suboptimal water quality.
