Validation of fetal microchimerism after pregnancy in the ovine using qPCR.
Article in Translational animal science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Fetal microchimerism has been detected in maternal tissues of humans and rodents during and after pregnancy. Studies focusing on fetal DNA transfer to maternal tissues in domestic animals are limited, especially in sheep. Fetal ram DNA was observed in the maternal circulation during pregnancy, but it is not known if this chimerism persists in soft tissues after parturition. The objectives of this exploratory study were to: 1) determine if male fetal DNA is detectable in soft tissues of mature ewes after parturition and if so, determine if detection repeatability differed with lifetime offspring sex ratio and 2) determine if male fetal DNA was present in soft tissues of yearling (primiparous) ewes shortly after parturition. Eight mature (open, non-lactating) and 8 yearling (primiparous, periparturient) Rambouillet ewes were used. Mature ewes (5- to 7-yr old) had given birth to primarily 82% males (
