Comparative effects of dietary inorganic and nano forms of selenium on growth, hematological, biochemical, and antioxidant responses in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).

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 compared the effects of dietary inorganic sodium selenite (Na₂SeO₃) and green-synthesized selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) on growth performance, hematological indices, serum biochemical parameters, and antioxidant status in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). A total of 180 fish were randomly assigned to three dietary groups (control, Na₂SeO₃, and green-synthesized SeNPs) and fed the experimental diets for 90 days. Green-synthesized SeNPs were produced using Viscum album L. root extract. Compared with the control and Na₂SeO₃ groups, fish fed the SeNP-supplemented diet exhibited significantly higher (P < 0.05) final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), total antioxidant status (TAS), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities, together with a significantly lower feed conversion ratio (FCR). In addition, serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were significantly reduced (P < 0.05) in the SeNP group compared with the other treatments, indicating improved physiological status and reduced oxidative stress. These findings demonstrate that green-synthesized selenium nanoparticles are a more effective and environmentally sustainable selenium source than inorganic sodium selenite for enhancing growth performance, physiological health, and antioxidant capacity in Nile tilapia.
