By default DB::select return an array of objects, you can use collections to get the first result:

 $nb = collect(DB::select('SELECT nb_seances_archivees() AS nb'))->first()->nb;

Or directly access the first object in the array:

 $nb = DB::select('SELECT nb_seances_archivees() AS nb')[0]->nb;

If you want to pass parameters then you should do:

 DB::select('SELECT nb_seances_archivees(?) AS nb', [$parameter]);
