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
Yunnan semi-fine wool sheep are among the most important cultivated sheep breeds in China. However, their population structure, genetic characteristics and traits of interest are poorly studied. In this study, we systematically studied the population characteristics and selection signatures of 40 Yunnan semi-fine wool sheep using SNPs obtained from whole-genome resequencing data. A total of 1393 Gb of clean data were acquired. The mapping rate against the reference genome was 91.23% on average (86.01%-92.26%), and the average sequence depth was 9.51X. After filtering, 28,593,198 SNPs and 4,725,259 indels with high quality were obtained. The heterozygosity rate, inbreeding coefficient and effective population size of the sheep were calculated to preliminarily explore their genetic characteristics. The average heterozygosity rate was 0.264, the average inbreeding coefficient was 0.0099, and the effective population size estimated from the heterozygote excess (HE) was 242.9. Based on the Tajima's D and integrated haplotype score (iHS) approaches, 562 windows and 11,356 core SNPs showed selection signatures in the Yunnan semi-fine wool sheep population. After genome annotation and gene enrichment analysis, we found traces of early domestication in sensory organs, behavioural activity and the nervous system as well as adaptive changes in reproductive and wool traits under selection in this population. Some selected genes related to litter size, including
