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 objective of this study was to evaluate the contribution of Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) data for dairy cattle breeding through two different approaches: (i) estimating the genetic parameters for 30 measured milk traits and their FTIR predictions and investigating the additive genetic correlation between them and (ii) evaluating the effectiveness of FTIR-derived phenotyping to replicate a candidate bull's progeny testing or breeding value prediction at birth. Records were available from 1,123 cows phenotyped using gold standard laboratory methodologies (LAB data). This included phenotypes related to fine milk composition and milk technological characteristics, milk acidity, and milk protein fractions. The dataset used to generate FTIR predictions comprised 729,202 test-day records from 51,059 Brown Swiss cows (FIELD data). A first approach consisted of estimating genetic parameters for phenotypes available from LAB and FIELD datasets. To do so, a set of bivariate animal models were run, and genetic correlations between LAB and FIELD phenotypes were estimated using FIELD information obtained at the population level. Heritability estimates were generally higher for FIELD predictions than for the corresponding LAB measures. The additive genetic correlations (r
