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

Reproductive ability, especially prolificacy, impacts sheep profitability. Hu sheep, a unique Chinese breed, is recognized for its high prolificacy (HP), early sexual maturity, and year-round estrus. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying HP in Hu sheep. To explore the potential mRNAs and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) involved in Hu sheep prolificacy, we performed an ovarian genome-wide analysis of mRNAs and lncRNAs during the follicular stage using Hu sheep of HP (litter size = 3; three consecutive lambings) and low prolificacy (LP, litter size = 1; three consecutive lambings). Plasma luteinizing hormone (LH) concentration was higher in the HP group than in the LP group (
