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
The experiment was conducted at ABIS Buffalo Dairy Farm, Rajnandgaon, on 300 milking Murrah buffaloes. In buffaloes, the information on body measurements, skin thickness, and their associations with milk yield and interrelationship among them is scanty. Hence, the present study was designed to establish the relationship of skin thickness with milk production in Murrah buffaloes. The data was statistically analyzed using R statistical software. The average skin thickness of the neck, chest, abdomen, rump, hind quarter, udder, and flank regions were 6.27 ± 0.11, 6.13 ± 0.13, 7.28 ± 0.14, 9.78 ± 0.15, 8.00 ± 0.12, 4.14 ± 0.09, and 8.53 ± 0.12 mm, respectively. In this study, the skinfold thickness of the neck and chest regions had a highly significant effect (P < 0.01) on the total lactation milk yield of Murrah buffaloes whereas skin thickness of other regions under study had no significant effect on total lactation milk yield. The results of the study revealed that parity and stage of lactation had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on the skinfold thickness of all the seven regions of Murrah buffalo under investigation. The study indicated that except for the udder region the correlation of all skin thickness with TMY was found to be negative and significant. The genetic correlations between milk yield and skin thickness of the neck, abdomen, and udder were low to medium. The heritability estimate for different skinfold thicknesses and milk yield in this study was low to medium. These results could facilitate further exploration in the use of skinfold thickness for management precision and can be useful in the selection of better animals under field conditions.
