The impact of freezing and multiple freeze-thaw cycles on Brix refractometry estimates of immunoglobulin concentration in beef cattle colostrum.

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
Evaluation of immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentration in colostrum is important to guide on-farm management. Studies have shown that digital Brix refractometry accurately estimates colostrum IgG concentration in both dairy and beef cattle colostrum. Colostrum is often frozen in both clinical and research settings. The implications of this freezing on the accuracy of Brix refractometry measurements are largely unknown. The first objective of this study was to evaluate the agreement between digital Brix percentage measurements of IgG in beef cattle colostrum taken before and after different durations of freezing. The second objective was to evaluate the effects of multiple freeze-thaw (FT) cycles on Brix percentage measurements of IgG in beef cattle colostrum. There was good agreement between Brix percentages in fresh colostrum and after short (2 to 8 d), medium (4 to 7 mo), and long (3 y) periods of freezing (concordance correlation coefficient: 0.95, 0.96, and 0.96, respectively). Although there was no significant change in mean Brix percentages over 2 FT cycles (
