1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Dulse ( Methods: We applied long-read shotgun metagenomic sequencing on 18 caecal samples collected from 27-day-old male Ross 308 broilers following a 7-day feeding trial with three dietary treatments - a reference diet, a soyabean meal-supplemented diet, and a diet supplemented with 30% dulse - to investigate the effects of dulse inclusion on microbial community composition, genetic diversity, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence determinants. Results: Across all dietary treatments, the Discussion: Our findings suggest that the benefits of dulse extend beyond its nutritional value, residing in its ability to foster ecosystem resilience; by promoting a diverse, niche-stabilised microbiota, dulse minimises the risk of opportunistic pathogen proliferation, supporting its use as a sustainable, functional feed ingredient.
