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

Sheep reproductive performance is one of the important economic traits in sheep farming. The bone morphogenetic protein receptor 1B (BMPR1B) gene and protein may play an important role in sheep fertility. This study was to investigate the association of blood BMPR1B protein expression with reproductive performance in sheep. Mongolian sheep with single and twin births and polytocous Small Tail Han sheep were selected due to differences in birth numbers. The BMPR1B mRNA in sheep blood was measured by a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction as well as the BMPR1B protein was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in blood samples of Mongolian and Small Tail Han sheep. The results demonstrated that blood BMPR1B concentration in Mongolian sheep with twin birth was higher (P < 0.05) than Small Tail Han sheep and Mongolian sheep with single birth. The protein concentration in the anestrus season was higher (P < 0.045) than those in the estrus season for both Mongolian and Small Tail Han sheep. Moreover, BMPR1B concentration in Mongolian sheep increased (P < 0.05) at the age of 6 to 12 mo and that in Small Tail Han sheep increased (P < 0.05) at the age of 3 to 6 mo. The result indicates that the increase in BMPR1B protein concentrations in the blood of Mongolian ewes and Small Tail Han ewes may be beneficial to follicular development, but too high or too low of this blood protein concentration in Mongolian and Small Tail Han sheep is not conducive to ovulation.
