Impact of dietary nano-scale zinc oxide supplementation on growth performance, jejunum morphology, and intestinal microbiota in broilers.

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
Objectives: Given the widespread adoption of nanotechnology, this study aimed to investigate the utilization of zinc nanoparticles as a dietary supplement for broiler chickens. Methods: A total of 480 day-old Arbor Acres Plus broilers (mixed-sex) were used to evaluate the effects of dietary zinc oxide nanoparticles (Nano-ZnO) on growth performance, jejunum morphology, blood parameters and cecal microbiota. All poultry were randomly divided into 4 groups according to initial body weight. Each group had six repeating cages with 20 chickens in each cage. The experiment lasted for 42 days. Dietary treatment was based on the base diet and supplemented with 25, 50, 100 mg/kg Nano-ZnO. Results: Our results showed that Nano-ZnO improved the growth performance and jejunal villus morphology of broilers ( Conclusion: In summary, we conclude that dietary supplementation with 25 mg/kg of Nano-ZnO is an effective approach for enhancing the growth performance of broiler chicks. It achieves this by optimizing intestinal morphology and cecal microorganisms.
