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

backgroundInternational evaluations combine data from different countries allowing breeders to have access to larger panels of elite bulls and to increase the accuracy of estimated breeding values (EBV). However, international and national evaluations can use different sources of information to compute EBV (EBV

methodsPublishable sires' international information, i.e. EBV

resultsOverall, for these three groups, integrating either pedigree-based or single-step international information into national pedigree-based evaluations improved the similarity of the blended EBV with the reference EBV compared to national evaluations without integration. For instance, the correlation with the reference EBV for direct (maternal) EBV went from 0.61 (0.79) for a national evaluation without integration to 0.97 (0.88) when integrating single-step international information, on average across all groups of publishable sires.

conclusionsOur proposed one-animal-at-a-time integration procedure yields blended EBV that are in close agreement with full international EBV for all groups of animals analysed. The procedure can be directly applied by countries since it does not rely on specific software and is computationally inexpensive, allowing straightforward integration of publishable sires' EBV
