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

The present study was undertaken with the aim to examine the relationship between temperature and humidity and milk production traits in Guanzhong dairy goats reared in China, and to assess the possibility of future genetic selection in dairy goats for increased tolerance to adverse environmental conditions, thereby improving goat farm management in China. Production data included 149 Guanzhong dairy goats with the first-lactation collected throughout 2019. The traits investigated were milk yield, and indicators of milk composition of Guanzhong dairy goats. For high temperature, significant and marked daily milk yield drops, up to 16% (about 0.23 kg/d per head) were observed in July and August when compared with the other months. The fat content, protein content, and dry matter were significantly lower in July and August. Importantly, milk production traits present significant correlations with high temperature, while high humidity had little effect on milk composition of Guanzhong dairy goats. Therefore, the adverse environmental conditions on farm profit is not negligible, and the strategies could be improving the goat farm management as well as obtaining thermotolerant animals through genetic selection.
